View Full Version : The LIES are so big!
The Official Version of 9/11 Is A Hoax (continued)
by JOHN KAMINSKI
9/11 was a hoax. This is no longer a wild conspiracy assertion; it is a fact, supported by thousands of other verifiable facts, foremost of which are:
The attacks of 9/11 COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED without the willful failure of the American defense system.
In Washington, Air Force pilots demanded to fly but were ordered to stand down. Yet instead of prosecuting the president and military leaders for this unprecedented dereliction of duty, military leaders were promoted and the president was praised for presiding over a defense system that suspiciously failed the most crucial test in its history.
None of the deaths would have happened without the deliberate unplugging of America's air defenses.
Planes that lose contact with control towers are usually intercepted by fighter jets inside of ten minutes, as the incident with the golfer's plane a few months earlier so clearly demonstrated.
Yet on 9/11, the jetliners that struck New York were allowed to proceed unmolested for more than a half-hour, and the plane that supposedly crashed in Washington was not intercepted for more than an hour and forty minutes after it was widely known that four planes had been hijacked.
The twin towers could not have collapsed as a result of burning jet fuel. Most of that fuel was consumed on impact. In the south tower, most of the fuel was spilled outside the building. Heat caused by burning jet fuel does not reach temperatures needed to melt steel. What does stand out as particularly suspicious and still unexplained is that fires raged out of control beneath THREE of the collapsed towers for ONE HUNDRED DAYS, clearly indicating the presence of some kind of substance utilized in the demolition of the structures.
The Twin Towers did not fall because of plane impacts or fires.
Most likely explosives were placed on structural supports in the towers (as was done in Oklahoma City), and these controlled implosions snuffed out the lives of three thousand people.
FBI Director Robert Mueller insisted officials had no idea this kind of attack could happen when in fact the FBI had been investigating the possibility of EXACTLY this kind of attack for almost TEN YEARS.
Numerous previous attempts at using planes as weapons, intimate knowledge of terror plans called Project Bojinka, and knowledge of suspicious characters attending flight schools who were being monitored by the FBI make his utterance a clear lie on its face.
In the weeks before 9/11, the U.S. received warnings from all over the world that an event just like this was about to happen, but FBI investigations into suspected terrorists were suppressed and those warnings were deliberately disregarded.
The names of the alleged hijackers, all ostensibly Muslims, were released to the public only hours after the attacks, despite Mueller saying we had no knowledge this would happen. This is an impossible twist of logic. If he didn't know of a plan to strike buildings with planes, how would he know the names of the hijackers?
Various artifacts were discovered in strategic places to try to confirm the government's story, but these have all been dismissed as suspicious planting of evidence. Since that time several names on that list have turned up alive and well, living in Arab countries. Yet no attempt has ever been made to update the list. And why were none of these names on the airlines' passenger lists?
Much like the invasion of Iraq, the anthrax attacks were designed to deflect attention from unanswered 9/11 questions in the patriotic pandemonium that followed the tragedy.
In addition to making large amounts of money for the president's father and his friends from the hasty sale of inefficient drugs to a panicked populace, the investigation into these killings was abruptly halted when the trail of evidence led straight to the government's door, and has not been reopened. The anthrax attacks also amped up the climate of fear and deflected attention from the passage of the government's repressive Patriot Act.
The Patriot Act was presented in the days after the tragedy supposedly as a response to it, yet it was clear that this heinous act, drafted to nullify provisions for freedom in the U.S. Constitution, was put together long before 9/11.
In addition, testimony by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) revealed that most members of Congress were compelled to vote for the bill without even reading it. This was a vote to eliminate the Constitutional Bill of Rights, which has defined American freedom for 200 years, and it was accomplished when legislators voted for the bill without even reading it.
The invasion of Afghanistan was presented as an attempt to pursue the alleged perpetrators of 9/11, yet it had been discussed for years prior to the tragedy and actually planned in the months before the attacks on New York and Washington.
Statements by Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Republican-written Project for a New American Century have stressed that America needed a formidable enemy to accomplish its aggressive geopolitical aims. The supposed enemy we attacked in Afghanistan was a diverse group of men from all over the world who were initially recruited, encouraged and supported by the American CIA.
The hole in the Pentagon was not made by a jumbo jet. Damage to the building was simply not consistent with the size of the hole nor the absence of debris. At the supposed point of impact, a whole bank of windows remained unbroken and there were no marks on the lawn. No airplane debris (except what was planted on the lawn) nor remains of passengers were ever found.
The president has admitted that he continued to read a story to schoolchildren in a Florida school for 30 minutes after being informed that two planes had struck New York and that the nation was under attack. He has never explained this puzzling behavior, nor how he saw the first plane hit. It was never televised, only recorded by a French crew filming firemen in New York. In that film, the plane in question does not appear to be a passenger airliner.
The plane in Pennsylvania was shot down and broke apart in midair. No other explanation can account for the wreckage, which was spread over a six-mile area, or the eyewitness accounts that describe debris falling from the sky.
Cellphone calls cannot be made from airliners in flight that are not close to the ground.
As research by Professor A. K. Dewdney has shown, the emotional conversations between hijacked passengers and others would not have been possible under conditions that existed at that moment. These calls were cynical fabrications, exploiting the distraught emotions of those who lost loved ones.
Radio communications from firefighters on the upper floors of the Trade Center towers clearly indicate that fires were under control and the structure was in no danger of collapsing.
These are merely a few of the deliberately false statements made by U.S. officials about 9/11.
They provide crystal clear evidence that our president, his staff, and many legislators should be indicted on charges of treason, obstruction of justice and mass murder.
Above all, these evil men should be removed from their positions of authority before they implement more of their moneymaking murder schemes like the one they are now perpetrating on the innocent people of Iraq.
Otherwise, we face a future of endless war abroad and merciless repression at home.
Consider just a few more of the other unanswered questions from among the thousands of unexplained loose ends that all point to 9/11 being an inside job.
Who benefited from the suspiciously high numbers of put options purchased prior to September 11 for shares in companies whose stock prices subsequently plummeted, on the supposition that whoever was behind the hijacking was also behind most of the purchases of these put options? And what was the role of the new executive director of the CIA, Buzzy Krongard, who handled these transactions?
Why was the debris from the collapsed Twin Towers removed from the site with no forensic examination?
Why was almost all of it sold to scrap merchants and shipped abroad where it would not be available for scientific examination?
Why does the government refuse to release any transcripts of communications or any records at all relating to signals of any form transmitted by those jets?
Why did so many people, from San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown to many employees of companies in the World Trade Center who failed to come to work that day, know in advance that something bad was going to happen on Sept. 11, 2001?
Why do all the major U.S. media continue to act as if none of these questions is legitimate or relevant?
Today, millions of people around the world are protesting the criminal destruction of the nation of Iraq. But these protests won't change the number of minds necessary to stop America's criminal madmen from continuing with their genocidal aim of enslaving the entire world.
What WILL stop them is spreading the realization that President George W. Bush and his billionaire accomplices in the oil industry perpetrated 9/11 as an excuse to begin the militarization of America for the purpose of world conquest.
History has shown all too clearly the deceived American people WILL support the destruction of faraway countries on phony pretexts of defending so-called freedom.
Thus the needless wars continue.
Right now we watch high-tech weapons slaughter the defenseless people of Iraq.
Soon it will be Iran, Syria, Colombia, Venezuela, North Korea, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and who knows where else.
All these misguided atrocities will be possible because of the hoax known as 9/11.
But the American people will not - and cannot - tolerate leaders who kill our own people merely to invent a pretext - the war on terror - to go around killing anyone they like.
If the American people DO tolerate such an insane strategy, then they clearly do not deserve to survive as a nation or a people.
John Kaminski is a writer who lives on the coast of Florida and can't understand why the president hasn't been arrested for his obvious lies and crimes.

More 9/11 TRUTH!!!
A week after the Sept.11 attacks, the London Times reported that the CIA had asked regulators for the Financial Services Authority in London to investigate the suspicious sales of millions of shares of stock just prior to the terrorist acts. It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the terrorists.
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations
There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades was available immediately. "We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity."
Howard continued, "The system is so smart that even if there is a news event that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and even the parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked at. It's a very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the system, though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might be unusual. They're trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Even if it's offshore, it might take a little longer, but all offshore accounts have to go through U.S. member firms - members of the CBOE - and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the trades. The member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable information about the client under the 'Know Your Customer' regulations (and we share all information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)"
Given all of this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators who are conducting the secret investigations have known for some time who made the options puts on a total of 38 stocks that might reasonably be anticipated to have a sharp drop in value because of an attack similar to the 9/11 episode.
The silence from the investigating camps could mean several things: Either terrorists are responsible for the puts on the listed stocks or others besides terrorists had foreknowledge of the attack and used this knowledge to reap a nice financial harvest from the tragedy.
Adam Hamilton of Zeal LLC, a North Dakota-based private consulting company that publishes research on markets worldwide, stated that "I heard that $22 million in profits was made on these put options..."
Federal investigators are continuing to be so closed-mouthed about these stock trades, and it is clear that a much wider net has been cast, apparently looking for bigger international fish involved in dubious financial activity relating to the 9/11 attacks on the world stock markets.
Just a month after the attacks the SEC sent out a list of stocks to various securities firms around the world looking for information. The list includes stocks of American, United, Continental, Northwest, Southwest and US Airways airlines, as well as Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American International Group, AMR Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA Financial, Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services, Hercules Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife, Progressive Corp., General Motors, Raytheon, W.R. Grace, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Lone Star Technologies, American Express, the Citigroup Inc. ,Royal & Sun Alliance, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Vornado Reality Trust, Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co., XL Capital Ltd., and Bear Stearns.
The Times said market regulators in Germany, Japan and the US all had received information concerning the short selling of insurance, airlines and arms companies stock, all of which fell sharply in the wake of the attacks.
City of London broker and analyst Richard Crossley noted that someone sold shares in unusually large quantities beginning three weeks before the assault on the WTC and Pentagon.
He said he took this as evidence that someone had insider foreknowledge of the attacks.
"What is more awful than he should aim a stiletto blow at the heart of Western financial markets?" he added. "But to profit from it? Words fail me."
The US Government also admitted it was investigating short selling, which evinced a compellingly strong foreknowledge of the coming Arab attack.
There was unusually heavy trading in airline and insurance stocks several days before Sept.11, which essentially bet on a drop in the worth of the stocks.
It was reported by the Interdisciplinary Center, a counter-terrorism think tank involving former Israeli intelligence officers, that insiders made nearly $16 million profit by short selling shares in American and United Airlines, the two airlines that suffered hijacking, and the investment firm of Morgan Stanley, which occupied 22 floors of the WTC.
Apparently none of the suspicious transactions could be traced to bin Laden because this news item quietly dropped from sight, leaving many people wondering if it tracked back to American firms or intelligence agencies.
Most of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy" Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.
More serious was an article in the Sept. 28, 2001 edition of the Washington Post stating that officials with the instant messaging firm of Odigo in New York confirmed that two employees in Israel received text messages warning of an attack on the WTC two hours before the planes crashed into the buildings!
The firm's vice president of sales and marketing, Alex Diamandis said it was possible that the warning was sent to other Odigo members, but they had not received any reports of such.
The day after, the Jerusalem Post claimed two Israelis died on the hijacked airplanes and that 4,000 were missing at the WTC.
A week later, a Beirut television station reported that 4,000 Israeli employees of the WTC were absent the day of the attack.
This information spread across the Internet but was quickly branded a hoax.
On Sept. 19, the Washington Post reported about 113 Israelis were missing at the WTC and the next day, President Bush noted more than 130 Israelis were victims.
Finally, on Sept. 22, the New York Times stated "There were, in fact, only three Israelis who had been confirmed as dead: two on the planes and another who had been visiting the towers on business and who was identified and buried."
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations
There has been a great deal of talk about the insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Government investigators have maintained a diplomatic silence about a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe of possible profiteering by interested parties with advance knowledge of the attack.
On Sept. 6, 2001, the Thursday before the tragedy, 2,075 put options were made on United Airlines and on Sept. 10, the day before the attacks, 2,282 put options were recorded for American Airlines. Given the prices at the time, this could have yielded speculators between $2 million and $4 million in profit.
The matter still is under investigation and none of the government investigating bodies -including the FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and DOJ -are speaking to reporters about insider trading.
Even so, suspicion of insider trading to profit from the Sept. 11 attacks is not limited to U.S. regulators. Investigations were initiated in a number of places including Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Spain.
As in the United States, all are treating these inquiries as if they were state secrets.

WTC: Seeing Is Not Necessarily Believing by RICHARD HIGGINS
* The Pentagon, symbol of America's military might, spat on.
The list goes on.
As I watched news of the events unfold, I was absolutely dumbfounded at how obviously the viewers were being manipulated, particularly by that propaganda machine CNN.
It would take pages to elaborate on all my ideas, but what about seeking your own answers to these points, which occurred to me.
How quickly the rhetoric of "revenge" came into the picture.
How, conveniently, there was a profile of Bin Laden on air within minutes of the crashes, and he was painted as "the bad guy".
(Of course we saw them doing exactly the same with Saddam Hussein a decade ago - are we falling for it again?)
Do you really believe that Bin Laden, fanatical and evil as he may be, is capable of orchestrating a military strike of this nature from the out-backs of one of the most backward, impoverished countries on the planet?
How the CIA, FBI, US Military, and the other secret organizations which we are not told about, knew nothing of this pending attack, and were unable to stop it.
Then, lo-and-behold, they became unbelievably efficient in rounding up all sorts of Arab suspects, in different countries even, within days.
Do you really believe that a video on how to fly a Boeing, and a copy of the Koran is left in a car by a hijacker, and "conveniently" found by the previously inept law-enforcement agencies within hours of the disaster - amongst the hundreds of cars that would be parked at a major airport?
Do you really believe that an Arab passport of one of the hijackers on one of the planes could have been "conveniently" found at the sight after that fireball and collapse of rubble, in which they are still trying to find five thousand bodies?
Isn't it convenient that Bush was in Florida at the time? One doesn't want to be around if something goes wrong and the White House is hit, when you've orchestrated such an elaborate plan.
So why wasn't the White House hit? Well too many of the people who concocted this elaborate plan are housed there.
But isn't it "convenient" to put out propaganda through your CNN mouthpiece that the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania was destined for the White House?
And what about that plane? Did the pilot force it to crash when he realized what was planned? Or was it shot down by the US military, and Bush couldn't dare tell his sheep that he had slaughtered some more of them, in a more obvious fashion? Despite news cameras being at the site of the crash within hours, there were never any close-ups of the wreckage. Why?
Isn't it "convenient" that the World Trade Center houses people from a good few other countries?
That creates instant emotional allies.
If one wanted to destroy something that symbolized America, why not take out the Statue of Liberty?
No, because that would not pull in other nations as effectively, and there would be fewer grieving families to paste across the media, and keep the public in a place of emotional response - rather than seeing the obvious in this fiasco.
As appalled as I am over the senseless deaths of over five thousand people, is it not "convenient" that the number of fatalities is relatively small, compared to the figures of around 20 000 that were fed to us immediately after the attack?
Notice how Congress was "conveniently" and immediately able to come up with, not the $20 billion Bush asked for, but $40 billion, in "relief" funds.
Imagine if they had applied that same sense of urgency and huge amount of money to the problem of homelessness, which has remained an issue for years.
Didn't you find the instant comparison to Pearl Harbor, a little obvious in its emotional agenda?
Look into the eyes of Bush. Is this a man who is ripped apart by the seemingly senseless death of his fellow countrymen?
The lack of genuine emotion is frightening! Then again, it would take an immensely talented actor - which he is not - to feign surprise, hurt and anger for something that YOU have actually designed, for the agenda of those who pull your strings.
Again, the list goes on. Read between the lines of the next news broadcast you watch, with an open mind, and you will be surprised at how transparent it all is.
As a television journalist, I was absolutely nauseated by the coverage we were subjected to on CNN.
It was all so obviously designed to whip Americans into a state of unprecedented patriot fervor. How was the biased, emotional reporting of the one "journalist" who showed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, carefully wrapped in drawings of the American flag by school children, and delivered to relief workers?
I wanted to vomit - and not because I don't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ! It was interesting to watch how relatively unbiased the SKY Channel was - and they had far superior footage. How come all that CNN were able to give us was endless wide shots from the top of a building, fronted by barely literate stooges, and a news service half way across the globe, could get us in amongst the chaos ?
Because CNN only shows what they are instructed to show, that's why.
While on the subject of CNN - didn't it strike you as rather convenient that this was so perfectly positioned to cover the Gulf War?
Anyone with any insight into the logistics of setting up such an operation in that amount of time, could only have suspected that it was created for that exact purpose. How do you paint Saddam Hussein as this generation's Hitler", if you don't have the media machinery in place ? By comparison, I must say I found the reporting by South African journalists - especially eTV's Debra Patter - to be balanced, un-emotive and intelligent.
So what is the real story behind the 11th September 2001? My opinion is this :
The "bombing" was a well thought-out, carefully designed military strike on the American people - as we've been told a million times already - but by THEIR president. (And I purposefully don't use a capital "p".)
It is the latest, and most dramatic attempt to move the world towards a state of fear, so that the handful of people who control the globe (called by many the Illuminati), can speed up their agenda for a One World Army, One World Currency, One World Bank, and total control of the masses.
If you don't believe me, watch how they are trying to set us up for the introduction of a global system if identification. While it will be presented as a way to "control" international terrorism, but it designed ultimately to control us. It is one small step away from injecting microchips into the world's population.
So, why target the Muslim Arabs? Well, who controls the world's oil reserves - and which country uses the most petroleum? And why Afghanistan? Do some investigation into how the American CIA trained the Pakistani Secret Service, who in turn supported the Muhajadin in their fight against the Russians.
It all comes down to control of the massive drug trade in this area, known as the Golden Crescent. My guess is that the Taliban who now control Afghanistan, are making it hard for the CIA to produce the huge drug quantities they have been used to in the area.
By playing host to Bin Laden, they have given Bush and his masters a seemingly plausible reason to bomb the hell out of the country. And those poor, wretched people of Afghanistan, who have already endured so much, will become cannon fodder for that massive ego which is the American Government.
If you sense a degree of anger emerging in my words, you are right.
I'm angry that women, children and young men will suffer untold horror, to satisfy the insatiable greed of a small elite. Am I anti-American? Not at all!
The poor American population is being led along by the nose-ring. They are also victims. At the same time, we must remember that they represent only 5% of the world's population, but it is claimed consume 70% of the world's resources. It cannot be sustained! Something must give!
And what about us, sitting here at the tip of Africa? Those of you that know me know that I am an optimist about this country's future.
Piecing together writings in The Book of Revelations, Nostradamus' predictions, the miracle of our move to Democracy, the amazing growth in consciousness I see every day in this country - we will become the world leader in the area of Human Consciousness.
I was therefore pleased to see that our President did not offer military support to Bush. Many people here are also far less susceptible to the CNN virus, and some of the views shared above, does not surprise them. We need to stay out of this emotional drama. Let's not for a second, harbor thoughts of hate and retaliation. Let's send thoughts of love and healing to Americans and to the millions of innocent law-abiding Muslims who are, and will be, victims of this smear campaign.
I urge you do take a look at David Icke's excellent web site at davidicke.com if you want to learn more about the complex web of conspiracy that has been woven around us. I am not an alarmist, but if only 10% of what he and others who study conspiracy theory claim, it is frightening.
Hold the light !
The dark forces are scared of our growing strength, and that is why they have resorted to such drastic measures.
They are scared shitless !
And so they should be - our victory is assured.
In love, light and laughter

Fake Terror - The Road to Dictatorship by MICHAEL RIVERO
Crassus seized upon the slave revolt led by Sparticus in order to strike terror into the hearts of Rome, whose garrison Sparticus had already defeated in battle.
But Sparticus had no intention of marching on Rome itself, a move he
knew to be suicidal. Sparticus and his band wanted nothing to do with the Roman empire and had planned from the start merely to loot enough money from their former owners in the Italian countryside to hire a mercenary fleet in which to sail to freedom.
Sailing away was the last thing Crassus wanted Sparticus to do. He needed a convenient enemy with which to terrorize Rome itself for his personal political gain. So Crassus bribed the mercenary fleet to sail without Sparticus, then positioned two Roman legions in such a way that Sparticus had no choice but to march on Rome.
Terrified of the impending arrival of the much-feared army of gladiators, Rome declared Crassus Praetor. Crassus then crushed Sparticus' army and even though Pompeii took the credit, Crassus was elected Consul of Rome the following year.
With this maneuver, the Romans surrendered their Republican form of
government. Soon would follow the first Triumvirate, consisting of Crassus, Pompeii, and Julius Caesar, followed by the reign of the god-like Emperors of Rome.
The Romans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and accepting
the rule of Emperors.
Julius Caesar's political opponent, Cicero, for all his literary
accomplishments, played the same games in his campaign against Julius
Caesar, claiming that Rome was falling victim to an internal "vast right wing" conspiracy in which any expressed desire for legislative limits on government was treated as suspicious behavior. Cicero, in order to demonstrate to the Romans just how unsafe Rome has become hired thugs to cause as much disturbance as possible, and campaigned on a promise to end the internal strife if elected and granted extraordinary powers.
What Cicero only dreamed of, Adolph Hitler succeeded in doing. Elected
Chancellor of Germany, Hitler, like Crassus, had no intention of living with the strict limits to his power imposed by German law.
Unlike Cicero, Hitler's thugs were easy to recognize; they all wore the same brown shirts. But their actions were no different than those of their Roman predecessors. They staged beatings, set fires, caused as much trouble as they could, while Hitler made speeches promising that he could end the crime wave of subversives and terrorism if he was granted extraordinary powers.
The Germans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and accepting the rule of Der Fuhrer.
The state-sponsored schools will never tell you this, but governments
routinely rely on hoaxes to sell their agendas to an otherwise reluctant public.
The Romans accepted the Emperors and the Germans accepted Hitler not
because they wanted to, but because the carefully crafted illusions of
threat appeared to leave no other choice.
Our government too uses hoaxes to create the illusion that We The People have no choice but the direction the government wishes us to go in.
In 1898, Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal were arguing for American intervention in Cuba. Hearst is reported to have dispatched a photographer to Cuba to photograph the coming war with Spain. When the photographer asked just what war that might be, Hearst is reported to have replied, "You take the photographs, and I will provide the war". Hearst was true to his word, as his newspaper published stories of great atrocities being committed against the Cuban people, most of which turned out to be complete fabrications.
On the night of February 15, 1898, the USS Maine, lying in Havana harbor in a show of US resolve to protect her interests, exploded violently. Captain Sigsbee, the commander of the Maine, urged that no assumptions of enemy attack be made until there was a full investigation of the cause of the explosion.
For this, Captain Sigsbee was excoriated in the press for "refusing to see the obvious". The Atlantic Monthly declared flat out that to suppose the explosion to be anything other than a deliberate act by Spain was "completely at defiance of the laws of probability".
Under the slogan "Remember the Maine", Americans went to war with Spain, eventually winning the Phillipines (and annexing Hawaii along the way).
In 1975, an investigation led by Admiral Hyman Rickover examined the data recovered from a 1911 examination of the wreck and concluded that there had been no evidence of an external explosion. The most likely cause of the sinking was a coal dust explosion in a coal bunker imprudently located next to the ship's magazines. Captain Sigsbee's caution had been well founded.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt needed a war. He needed the fever of a major war to mask the symptoms of a still deathly ill economy struggling back from the Great Depression (and mutating towards Socialism at the same time).
Roosevelt wanted a war with Germany to stop Hitler, but despite
several provocations in the Atlantic, the American people, still struggling with that troublesome economy, were opposed to any wars. Roosevelt violated neutrality with lend lease, and even ordered the sinking of several German ships in the Atlantic, but Hitler refused to be provoked.
Roosevelt needed an enemy, and if America would not willingly attack that enemy, then one would have to be maneuvered into attacking America, much as Marcus Licinius Crassus has maneuvered Sparticus into attacking Rome.
The way open to war was created when Japan signed the tripartite
agreement with Italy and Germany, with all parties pledging mutual defense to each other. Whereas Hitler would never declare war on the United States no matter the provocation, the means to force Japan to do so were readily at hand.
The first step was to place oil and steel embargoes on Japan, using Japan's wars on the Asian mainland as a reason. This forced Japan to consider seizing the oil and mineral rich regions in Indonesia. With the European powers militarily exhausted by the war in Europe, the United States was the only power in the Pacific able to stop Japan from invading the Dutch East Indies, and by moving the Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Roosevelt made a pre-emptive strike on that fleet the mandatory first step in any Japanese plan to extend it's empire into the "southern resource area".
Roosevelt boxed in Japan just as completely as Crassus had boxed in
Sparticus. Japan needed oil. They had to invade Indonesia to get it, and to do that they first had to remove the threat of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. There never really was any other course open to them.
To enrage the American people as much as possible, Roosevelt needed the first overt attack by Japan to be as bloody as possible, appearing as a sneak attack much as the Japanese had done to the Russians. From that moment up until the attack on Pearl Harbor itself, Roosevelt and his associates made sure that the commanders in Hawaii, General Short and Admiral Kimmel, were kept in the dark as much as possible about the location of the Japanese fleet and it's intentions, then later scapegoated for the attack. (Congress recently exonerated both Short and Kimmel, posthumously restoring them to their former ranks).
But as the Army board had concluded at the time, and subsequent de-
classified documents confirmed, Washington DC knew the attack was
coming, knew exactly where the Japanese fleet was, and knew where it was headed.
On November 29th, Secretary of State Hull showed United Press reporter
Joe Leib a message with the time and place of the attack, and the New York Times in it's special 12/8/41 Pearl Harbor edition, on page 13, reported that the time and place of the attack had been known in advance!
The much repeated claim that the Japanese fleet maintained radio silence on it's way to Hawaii was a lie. Among other intercepts still held in the Archives of the NSA is the UNCODED message sent by the Japanese tanker Shirya stating, "proceeding to a position 30.00 N, 154.20 E. Expect to arrive at that point on 3 December." (near HI)
President Lyndon Johnson wanted a war in Vietnam. He wanted it to help his friends who owned defense companies to do a little business. He needed it to get the Pentagon and CIA to quit trying to invade Cuba. And most of all, he needed a provocation to convince the American people that there was really "no other choice".
On August 5, 1964, newspapers across America reported "renewed attacks" against American destroyers operating in Vietnamese waters, specifically the Gulf of Tonkin. The official story was that North Vietnamese torpedo boats launched an "unprovoked attack" on the USS Maddox while it was on "routine patrol".
The truth is that USS Maddox was involved in aggressive intelligence
gathering in coordination with actual attacks by South Vietnam and the
Laotian Air Force against targets in North Vietnam.
The truth is also that there was no attack by torpedo boats against the USS Maddox. Captain John J. Herrick, the task force commander in the Gulf, cabled Washington DC that the report was the result of an "over-eager" sonarman who had picked up the sounds of his own ship's screws and panicked. But even with this knowledge that the report was false, Lyndon Johnson went on national TV that night to announce the commencement of air strikes against North Vietnam, "retaliation" for an attack that had never occurred.
President George Bush wanted a war in Iraq. Like Crassus, George Bush is motivated by money. Specifically oil money. But with the OPEC alliance failing to keep limits on oil production in the Mideast, the market was being glutted with oil pumped from underneath Iraq, which sat over roughly 1/3 of the oil reserves of the entire region.
George wanted a war to stop that flow of oil, to keep prices (and profits) from falling any further than they already had. But like Roosevelt, he needed the "other side" to make the first move.
Iraq had long been trying to acquire greater access to the Persian Gulf, and felt limited confined a narrow strip of land along Kuwait's northern border, which placed Iraqi interests in close proximity with hostile Iran.
George Bush, who had been covertly arming Iraq during its war with Iran, sent word via April Glaspie that the United States would not intervene if Saddam Hussein grabbed a larger part of Kuwait. Saddam fell for the bait and invaded.
Of course, Americans were not about to send their sons and daughters to risk their lives for petroleum products. So George Bush arranged a hoax, using public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which has grown rich on taxpayer money by being most industrious and creative liars! Hill & Knowlton concocted a monumental fraud in which the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States, went on TV pretending to be a nurse, and related a horror story in which Iraqi troops looted the incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital, leaving the premature babies on the cold floor to die.
The media, part of the swindle from the start, never bothered asking why the "nurse" didn't just pick the babies up and wrap them in blankets or something.
Enraged by the incubator story, Americans supported operation Desert
Storm, which never removed Saddam Hussein from power but which did
take Kuwait's oil off of the market for almost 2 years and limited Iraq's oil exports to this very day. That our sons and daughters came home with serious and lingering medical illnesses was apparently not too great a price to pay for increased oil profits.
Following the victory in Iraq, yet another war appeared to be in the
offering in the mineral rich regions of Bosnia. Yet again, a hoax was used to create support for military action.
The above photo of Fikret Alic, a Muslim, staring through a barbed wire fence, was used to "prove" that the Bosnians were running modern day "Concentration Camps". As the headline of "Belsen 92" indicates, all possible associations with the Nazi horrors were made to sell the necessity of sending yet more American troops into someone else's nation.
But when German Journalists went to Trnopolje, the site of the supposed Bosnian Concentration Camp. to film a documentary, they discovered that the photo was a fake! The camp at Trnopolje was not a concentration camp but a refugee center. Nor was it surrounded by barbed wire.
Careful examination of the original photo revealed that the photographer had shot the photo through a broken section of fence surrounding a tool shed. It was the photographer who was on the inside, shooting out at the refugees.
Once again, Americans had been hoaxed into support of actions they might otherwise not have agreed with.
While several American Presidents have willingly started wars for personal purposes, perhaps no President has ever carried it to the extreme that Bill Clinton has.
Coincident with the expected public statement of Monica Lewinsky following her testimony, Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile attack on Sudan and Afghanistan, claiming to have had irrefutable proof that bogeyman extraordinaire (and former Afghani ally) Osama Bin Ladin was creating terrorist chemical weapons there.
Examination of the photos of the debris revealed none of the expected
structures one would find in a laboratory that handled lethal weapons-grade materials. Assurances from the CIA that they had a positive soil test for biological weapons fell on their face when it was revealed that there had been no open soil anywhere near the pre-bombed facility.
Sudan requested that international observers come test the remains of the factory for any signs of the nerve gas Clinton had insisted was there. None was found. The Sudanese plant was a harmless aspirin factory, and the owner has sued for damages.
Later examination of the site hit in Afghanistan revealed it to be a mosque.
Meanwhile, back in Kosovo, stories about genocide and atrocities were
flooding the media (in time to distract from the Sudanese embarrassments), just as lurid and sensational and as it turns out often just as fictional as most of William Randolph Hearst's stories of atrocities against the Cubans.
Again, the government and the media were hoaxing Americans. The above
photo was shown on all the American networks, claiming to be one of
Slobodan Milosovic's Migs, shot down while attacking civilians. Closer
examination (click on the photo) shows it to be stenciled in English!
Like Germany under Chancellor Hitler, there have been events in our nation which strike fear into the hearts of the citizens, such as the New York World Trade Tower bombing, the OK City Federal Building, and the Olympic Park bomb (nicely timed to divert the media from witnesses to the TWA 800 shoot down).
The media has been very quick to blame such events on "radicals",
"subversives", "vast right wing conspiracies", and other "enemies in our midst", no different than the lies used by Cicero and Hitler.
But on closer examination, such "domestic terrorist" events do not appear to be what they are made out to be. The FBI had an informant inside the World Trade Tower bombers, Emad Salam, who offered to sabotage the bomb.
The FBI told him "no". The so-called "hot bed" of white separatism at Elohim City, occasional home to Tim McVeigh in the weeks prior to the OK City bombing, was founded and is being run by an FBI informant!
And nobody has ever really explained what this second Ryder truck was
doing in a secret camp half way from Elohim City to Oklahoma City two
weeks before the bombing.
So, here we are today. Like the Romans of Crassus' and Cicero's time, or the Germans under a newly elected Hitler, we are being warned that a dangerous enemy threatens us, implacable, invisible, omnipresent, and invulnerable as long as our government is hamstrung by that silly old Bill of Rights.
Already there have appeared articles debating whether or not
"extraordinary measures" (i.e. torture) are not fully justified under
certain circumstances such as those we are purported to face.
As was the case in Rome and Germany, the government continues to plead
with the public for an expansion of its power and authority, to "deal with the crisis".
However, as Casio watch timers are paraded before the cameras, to the
stentorian tones of the talking heads' constant dire warnings, it is
legitimate to question just how real the crises is, and how much is the result of political machinations by our own leaders.
Are the terrorists really a threat, or just hired actors with bombs and Casio watches, paid for by Cicero and given brown shirts to wear by Hitler?
Is terrorism inside the United States really from outside, or is it a stage managed production, designed to cause Americans to believe they have no choice but to surrender the Republic and accept the totalitarian rule of a new emperor, or a new Fuhrer?
Once lost, the Romans never got their Republic back. Once lost, the
Germans never got their Republic back. In both cases, the nation had to totally collapse before freedom was restored to the people.
Remember that when Crassus tells you that Sparticus approaches.
Remember that when thugs in the streets act in a manner clearly designed to provoke the public fear.
Remember that when the Reichstag burns down.

Most of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy" Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.
Deutsche Bank - A.B. Brown??
So the BCE returns full circle to the partnerships which began their treason against this country in the first place. Deutsche Bank being a descendent of the 1930's Nazi German banks, and A.B. Brown being a spin off of Brown Brothers - Harriman who employed Grandpa Prescott Bush
Why isn't this surprising?

SEC Investigates 9/ 11'Short' Stock Sales Profits by TBRNEWS.ORG
A week after the Sept.11 attacks, the London Times reported that the CIA had asked regulators for the Financial Services Authority in London to investigate the suspicious sales of millions of shares of stock just prior to the terrorist acts. It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the terrorists.
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations
There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades was available immediately. "We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity."
Howard continued, "The system is so smart that even if there is a news event that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and even the parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked at. It's a very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the system, though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might be unusual. They're trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Even if it's offshore, it might take a little longer, but all offshore accounts have to go through U.S. member firms - members of the CBOE - and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the trades. The member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable information about the client under the 'Know Your Customer' regulations (and we share all information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)"
Given all of this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators who are conducting the secret investigations have known for some time who made the options puts on a total of 38 stocks that might reasonably be anticipated to have a sharp drop in value because of an attack similar to the 9/11 episode.
The silence from the investigating camps could mean several things: Either terrorists are responsible for the puts on the listed stocks or others besides terrorists had foreknowledge of the attack and used this knowledge to reap a nice financial harvest from the tragedy.
Adam Hamilton of Zeal LLC, a North Dakota-based private consulting company that publishes research on markets worldwide, stated that "I heard that $22 million in profits was made on these put options..."
Federal investigators are continuing to be so closed-mouthed about these stock trades, and it is clear that a much wider net has been cast, apparently looking for bigger international fish involved in dubious financial activity relating to the 9/11 attacks on the world stock markets.
Just a month after the attacks the SEC sent out a list of stocks to various securities firms around the world looking for information. The list includes stocks of American, United, Continental, Northwest, Southwest and US Airways airlines, as well as Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American International Group, AMR Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA Financial, Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services, Hercules Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife, Progressive Corp., General Motors, Raytheon, W.R. Grace, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Lone Star Technologies, American Express, the Citigroup Inc. ,Royal & Sun Alliance, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Vornado Reality Trust, Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co., XL Capital Ltd., and Bear Stearns.
The Times said market regulators in Germany, Japan and the US all had received information concerning the short selling of insurance, airlines and arms companies stock, all of which fell sharply in the wake of the attacks.
City of London broker and analyst Richard Crossley noted that someone sold shares in unusually large quantities beginning three weeks before the assault on the WTC and Pentagon.
He said he took this as evidence that someone had insider foreknowledge of the attacks.
"What is more awful than he should aim a stiletto blow at the heart of Western financial markets?" he added. "But to profit from it? Words fail me."
The US Government also admitted it was investigating short selling, which evinced a compellingly strong foreknowledge of the coming Arab attack.
There was unusually heavy trading in airline and insurance stocks several days before Sept.11, which essentially bet on a drop in the worth of the stocks.
It was reported by the Interdisciplinary Center, a counter-terrorism think tank involving former Israeli intelligence officers, that insiders made nearly $16 million profit by short selling shares in American and United Airlines, the two airlines that suffered hijacking, and the investment firm of Morgan Stanley, which occupied 22 floors of the WTC.
Apparently none of the suspicious transactions could be traced to bin Laden because this news item quietly dropped from sight, leaving many people wondering if it tracked back to American firms or intelligence agencies.
Most of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy" Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.
More serious was an article in the Sept. 28, 2001 edition of the Washington Post stating that officials with the instant messaging firm of Odigo in New York confirmed that two employees in Israel received text messages warning of an attack on the WTC two hours before the planes crashed into the buildings!
The firm's vice president of sales and marketing, Alex Diamandis said it was possible that the warning was sent to other Odigo members, but they had not received any reports of such.
The day after, the Jerusalem Post claimed two Israelis died on the hijacked airplanes and that 4,000 were missing at the WTC.
A week later, a Beirut television station reported that 4,000 Israeli employees of the WTC were absent the day of the attack.
This information spread across the Internet but was quickly branded a hoax.
On Sept. 19, the Washington Post reported about 113 Israelis were missing at the WTC and the next day, President Bush noted more than 130 Israelis were victims.
Finally, on Sept. 22, the New York Times stated "There were, in fact, only three Israelis who had been confirmed as dead: two on the planes and another who had been visiting the towers on business and who was identified and buried."
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations
There has been a great deal of talk about the insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Government investigators have maintained a diplomatic silence about a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe of possible profiteering by interested parties with advance knowledge of the attack.
On Sept. 6, 2001, the Thursday before the tragedy, 2,075 put options were made on United Airlines and on Sept. 10, the day before the attacks, 2,282 put options were recorded for American Airlines. Given the prices at the time, this could have yielded speculators between $2 million and $4 million in profit.
The matter still is under investigation and none of the government investigating bodies -including the FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and DOJ -are speaking to reporters about insider trading.
Even so, suspicion of insider trading to profit from the Sept. 11 attacks is not limited to U.S. regulators. Investigations were initiated in a number of places including Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Spain.
As in the United States, all are treating these inquiries as if they were state secrets.

Alice in Wonderland & the WTC Disaster by DAVID ICKE
And the opposition to their globalisation
plans and their assaults on freedom, was gathering by the day.
It was clear that something of enormous magnitude was being orchestrated that would so devastate the collective human mind with fear, horror, and insecurity, that "solutions" could be offered that would advance the agenda in a colossal leap almost overnight. This is what we saw in America on the ritually-significant eleventh day of the ninth month - 911 is the number for emergencies in the United States.
Ritual and esoteric codes are at the heart of everything the Illuminati undertakes.
And, mind-numbing as these atrocities are, this is the start, not
the end, of the next cycle of the Illuminati agenda for the mental,
emotional, spiritual, and physical imprisonment of humankind. More
and more death and destruction will unfold as the "Free World" unites
as an (in affect) world army and world government to use the threat
of "terrorism" (their own) to justify a war against the people and
countries they choose to take the rap for what the very forces WITHIN
the "free world" are themselves responsible for. Even war with the
Islamic peoples is not the end, but the means to an end - a conflict
with the remaining forces of communism, which they also control.
Remember that the Illuminati operate through every country and within
"terrorist" organisations and those agencies which "oppose" such
terrorism. Only by having agents within all "sides" can they be
sure of controlling the game and knowing the outcome before it starts.
The Illuminati have operatives within the Islamic world, just as
they have them in the so-called "free world", as we shall see in
the months to come. Saddam Hussein is every bit as much a knowing
Illuminati pawn as Father George and Boy George Bush in America,
for example (seeAnd The Truth Shall Set You Free).
The predictability of the ritualistic, emotionless, reptilian mind
can be seen in the news management that has followed this U.S. disaster.
Look at what always happens in these circumstances and you will
see that the blueprint is the same in almost every case. Before
the event happens the fall-guy or "patsy" is already set up to take
the blame, thus steering the public mind away from dangerous speculation and onto a pre-ordained target. After the Kennedy assassination it was Lee Harvey Oswald; after Oklahoma it was Timothy McVeigh; now it is Osama Bin Laden.
Bin Laden, deeply misguided as he may be, is no more responsible
for what happened this week than I am. His name was introduced with
the most obvious co-ordination immediately after the disaster unfolded in the same way that the background to Lee Harvey Oswald was being circulated BEFORE President Kennedy was even dead.
The idea that this guy from the mountains of Afghanistan with far
more mouth than substance could be the "Mr. Big" of this enormous
operation is utterly insulting to anyone of even basic intelligence
(see the article by journalist Robert Fisk, who has met him). We
are not talking a parcel bomb here, nor even some mind-controlled
fanatic driving a car bomb into a restaurant in Jerusalem. Four
commercial airliners had to be simultaneously hi-jacked in American
air space via American airports and flown into highly specific targets within 45 minutes of each other.
How was this possible? Because it was an inside job, that's how, orchestrated by forces WITHIN the United States and planned by the highest levels of U.S. "Intelligence" in co-ordination with other strands of the Illuminati spider's web worldwide.
With an army now of mind-controlled assets at their disposal, it
is possible to get them to do anything they require once the mind
is programmed and the trigger given to activate them. Those responsible for hijacking those planes and flying them into buildings will, in their conscious mind, have believed in the "cause" they were
programmed to believe in. But in truth they were not hi-jacking
and flying those planes, their programming was. Mind control is
now so sophisticated that such programming is almost child's play.
This terror was not a failure of U.S. Intelligence for God's sake.
They were not supposed to uncover the plot and getting weapons onto
planes is so much easier if you have support from those who control
the system.
I have heard that this is another "Pearl Harbor" and yes it is. You can read in ..And The Truth Shall Set You Free and other books and studies how the American government knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor, but they did nothing about it.
Why? Because they wanted it to happen for a specific reason - to
justify the U.S. entry into the Second World War, which President
Roosevelt (a blood relative of the Bushes) had said, just to get
elected, that America would not be involved in. Problem-reaction-solution - and it's the same with the terrible events of this week.
In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, the "pin it on bin Laden"
campaign was launched as per pre-arranged plan. The Republican Senator and Illuminati stooge, Orrin Hatch, for example, told CNN that he had high-level information from the FBI that bin Laden was behind the unprecedented attacks. "I do have some information," Hatch said in reference to his FBI briefing. "They've come to the conclusion that this looks like it may be the signature of Osama bin Laden, that he may be the one behind this." It's OK, don't go on, Orrin, we get the message and you have done your job.
Then we had the story of the hire car found so conveniently at Boston
airport, where two planes were hijacked, which contained wait
for ita copy of the Koran and an instruction video for how to fly
commercial jets!!! Am I in fairyland or what? I am surprised they
did not claim to have discovered a letter from bin Laden in the
car wishing the occupants the best of luck with their task. Maybe
they plan to "find" that tomorrow, eh? It's unbelievable nonsense,
of course it is, but most will believe it. And you will see more
and more manufactured "evidence" of the "bin Laden connection" systematically revealed in the days and weeks ahead.
So, the question: Who benefits? Well, the Illuminati want a world
government and army, a world currency and centralised global financial dictatorship and control. They want micro-chipped people and a society based on constant surveillance of all kinds at all times. And they want a frightened, docile, subservient, people who give their power away to the "authorities" who can save them from what they have been manipulated to fear.
Funnily enough the question "who benefits from these horrific events
in America?" can be answered very simply: Anyone who wants to introduce the above. The disaster of 9-11, means that:
The Illuminati now have the excuse to retaliate against anyone their
propaganda machine can manipulate the population to believe was
to blame. Attacks against Islamic targets have the potential to
be the trigger for massive conflict and upheaval across the world
and especially in the Middle and Near East. The opportunities to
then widen the conflict to involve Russia and China are endless.
A third world war is part of the agenda and this can open the way
for that as the dominoes fall.
The "free world united with America" rhetoric from Blair and other
"world leaders" is code for coming together as a world army and
police force to fight a "war against terrorism". Already the Bilderberg-controlled NATO (the world army in waiting) has pledged such support and the collective consciousness is being manipulated so comprehensively at this time that most people will support American and NATO terrorist attacks on unsubstantiated targets in the name of fighting terrorism.
The stunning contradiction in this policy will be lost on the majority blinded by the blatant and intense mind manipulation that has followed the outrages in those U.S. cities.
As conflict escalates as a result of such calculated "retaliation"
the pressure for centralisation of military power and the willingness
to concede that power by the populations of America and elsewhere
will gather until the world army is in place, a world army with
the power to attack and take over any country that their propaganda machine can demonise.
The collective mind of humanity, and particularly that of America,
is understandably now in a deeply traumatised state. They have been
subjected to collective trauma-based mind control and, as any mind
controller or researcher can tell you, a traumatised mind is a suggestible mind. So in the wake of the trauma comes the programming to manipulate the population to see events in the desired fashion.
One of the biggest potential obstacles to the "New World Order",
the centrally-controlled fascist global state, is the psyche of
most American people. When faced with the prospect of giving up
their right of self-determination to global military, political,
and financial control, most would be vehemently opposed once they
realised what was happening. Their collective sense of security,
confidence, and pride in their nation and system has been built
on the foundations of immense military and financial strength. It
is a collective version of the John Wayne mentality - "don't mess
with us - this is America." From that has come their collective
confidence in themselves as a nation. Now that very sense of who
they are, and their belief that they have the power to stand alone,
is in danger of being devastated.
It is absolutely no co-incidence that the targets of those hi-jacked
planes were the very symbols of America's sense of itself and its
own security - the Pentagon, symbol of their military might, and
the World Trade Centre, twin pillars of their financial might. This
is not primarily an attack on America, it is an attack on America's
image and imagination of itself. Break their spirit and their sense
of being "American"; break America's confidence in itself; put it
in fear and fundamental insecurity; and you have overcome the most
significant opposition to America allowing itself to be absorbed
into the Illuminati's global and centrally-dictated society. The
American psyche will now be bombarded with more and more shocks
to its security and sense of self, as with Oklahoma and the school
shootings in the past. But from now on everything will be increased
dramatically. It is vital that Americans refuse to submit to this
and realise that those who are condemning the terrorism in their
midst are those who are responsible for it.
When I first travelled America in 1996, I was staggered at what
a controlled society the "Land of the Free" really was (though still
not as bad as Canada). Now in the wake of this tragedy, the United
States, and other countries, are set to become a fortress of invasive
surveillance and, what's more, because of what has happened, the
American people will not utter a significant word of protest at
the rapid expansion of this Big Brother society. Problem-reaction-solution.
Watch for micro-chipping of people to be suggested to "stop the terrorists".
An economic disaster has long been predicted by those who have exposed and studied the Illuminati agenda. To overcome resistance to single currencies and central control of global finance, they need a world economic crash that will destroy the present system and kid the
people into accepting centralised global control as the only way
to overcome the crash. Problem-reaction-solution. This is another
reason why these attacks struck in the very heart of America's economic system - and why in the days before the carnage the talk of a global economic recession was plastered across the world media. Now they have a blank sheet of paper with the chance to justify such a collapse and you will see global economic bodies brought in to "co-ordinate a response to the economic crisis". Indeed the G7 (Illuminati) grouping of nations has already begun this process.
These are just a few of the "benefits" to the agenda from the death
and destruction in New York and Washington that was, I repeat, co-ordinated by forces within U.S. borders. Those responsible are possessed by non-human entities and have no regard for human life any more than most humans have regard for the death and suffering of cattle. The reptilian mind has an undeveloped emotional level and therefore there is no emotional consequence for them no matter to what depths of horror and depravity they may sink. You only had to watch the emotionless, going-through-the-motions, reading the script, responses of George W. Bush and Tony Blair, the UK Prime Minister, in the face of such immense suffering to see an example of this. It was
in the class of the Queen of England after the murder of Princess
Diana. At least Reagan was a professional actor. Bush and Blair
wouldn't get in a school play.
Did George W. Bush know that these devastating disasters were going
to happen that day? What do you think?? Did Tony Blair? What do
you think?? But even they are only pawns in a game controlled by
far greater powers and they are as expendable as anyone once they
have served their purpose. Personally I would not be surprised in
the least if Bush was sacrificed eventually to advance the "global
terrorism" scenario, and perhaps someone very close to Blair also.
And, of course, if Bush does go, the new President would be the
serial killer, Dick Cheney (see The Biggest Secret). The stakes
are going to be stacked very high indeed from this point because
the final push to global fascism has begun.
The world will never be the same again, that's true, but within
every danger there is opportunity. And for those of us, the vast
majority, who seek peace not conflict, freedom-for-all, not dictatorship-by-the-few, now have to look ourselves in the mirror and ask what we are going to do to stop these lunatics from taking over their asylum.
Complaining is not good enough any more. Running is no longer an
option because soon there will be nowhere to run. It is time to
lift the arse (that's "ass" or "Bush" to Americans) from the chair
and let's stop sitting down and taking this shit. People can bombard
the radio phone-ins with another version of reality and when they
cut you off get back again and again; tell everyone you know where
they can get information to give them another fix on what is really
happening; send this and other articles on these subjects to everyone
you know through e-mail, fax, or post; organise PEACEFUL protests
against the fascist state whenever freedoms are threatened; get
people together at meetings to discuss and assimilate information
the media will not tell you; LOSE FEAR AND BE IRREVERENT IN THE
FACE OF THIS ARROGANT DICTATORSHIP. IT CAN ONLY SURVIVE IF WE ARE
FRIGHTENED OF IT AND INTIMIDATED BY IT.
There is so much we can do if only we first decide that we want
to dedicate our lives to this with an unbreakable determination
that will not concede to any level of intimidation or consequences.
The Dragon is nothing like as powerful as they want us to believe it is.
Come on, what are we waiting for? - LET'S GO.
Remember: NO FEAR!!

HCC Insurance/ Stratesec Links Marvin Bush & WTC by MARGIE BURNS
Bush, George W.'s youngest brother, joined HCC's Board of Directors in 1999, remaining until November 2002.
A company called Stratesec, formerly named Securacom, was a security contractor with the WTC from 1996 to 2001.
Marvin Bush was a director at Stratesec from 1993 to 2000. Stratesec, in turn, was backed by a private Washington, DC, investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corporation (KuwAm), linked to the Bush family since the Gulf War.
White House responses to 9–11 have not mentioned family links to the security business or to the World Trade Center.
This secrecy extends to Marvin Bush's SEC filings. The April 23, 1999, proxy statement for Stratesec does not mention Marvin Bush's connections to HCC.
The April 28, 1999, proxy statement for HCC does not mention his directorship at Stratesec.
Thus Marvin Bush was elected to two boards on May 20 and May 25, 1999, each with a major interest in the World Trade Center, but neither proxy filing mentions the other.
According to attorney Robert Plesnarski, Special Counsel in the Office of Chief Counsel at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), since both companies were publicly traded, "the information [on other directorships] would have been required."
Had the companies been private, "the information would probably not have been included," Plesnarski stated in a phone conversation, but regarding public companies he cites "Item 401 of Regulation SK."
Marvin Bush has not replied to requests for comment.
Regulation 229.401 in SEC law: "Identification of directors," requires filers to "Indicate any other directorships held by each director or person nominated or chosen to become a director," etc. Each director is also required to "Briefly describe [his] business experience during the past five years," with "the name and principal business of any corporation or other organization," etc.
One effect of the nondisclosure was that shareholders at Stratesec were not told of Marvin Bush's connection with HCC, a huge insurance company with easily the leverage to force other companies off the WTC project.
Also, HCC shareholders were not told of Marvin Bush's connection to a security company that had a WTC contract. Stratesec was eventually excused from the WTC project, according to a former employee. HCC sustained sizable losses from 9–11, and withdrew from workman's compensation.
Attorney Frank Razzano, formerly at the SEC and now a partner at the Washington, DC, law firm Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky, said, "I think it's pretty clear that you have to disclose your other directorships" in proxy filings.
The SEC regulation states clearly, according to Razzano, that "that information has to be disclosed. I don't have any idea why it would have been left out."
Razzano turns out to have a personal perspective on what happened at the World Trade Center: "I was under the buildings when they fell," he said rather matter-of-factly. He was staying in the Marriott Hotel at the time, "between the North Tower and the South Tower," and "was hit on the head," ending up in the hospital with a subdural hematoma. Razzano was among the lucky ones; fortunately, the internal bleeding resolved and dissipated, after a hospital stay of three days.
Troubled companies or not, less than full disclosure impedes access to full information about a public company's directors, clients, subcontractors, litigation, political connections and investors.
Why is the White House preventing a full investigation of security at the WTC and the financial stream behind it?
Is the administration pretending that security lapses happen only among baggage screeners?

Election Fraud!
Bush-Cheney Exports Election Fraud to Afghanistan
by CONSPIRACY PLANET
Election fraud in Afghanistan is the latest export of the Bush Cheney Regime which has successfully field tested vote fraud in Florida and elsewhere during the 2000 presidential election.
According to Reuters, "all 15 of President Hamid Karzai's rivals said they were withdrawing from the election because systems to prevent illegal multiple voting had gone awry. The move effectively left Karzai as the only candidate in the fray."
Karzai is, of course, the notorious Bush-Cheney puppet, former UNOCAL "consultant" and designated Afghan "President."
Just like the purloined results in Florida, US officials in Afghanistan claim that the counting will continue.
"Fears of sabotage by Taliban militants were overtaken halfway through the voting day when it became clear some workers were using the wrong pen to mark people's fingers after they voted," Reuters reported. "This meant the ink could just be washed off and the voter could potentially cast a ballot again."
"Vote early and vote often" is the key to election fraud in Afghanistan.
Just like America.

Oh look, another 9/11 thread
Edit: No changes.
9/11 Conspiracy: SEC Stalls Probe of Deutche Bank by TBRNEWS.ORG
It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the terrorists.
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades was available immediately. "We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity."
Howard continued, "The system is so smart that even if there is a news event that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and even the parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked at. It's a very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the system, though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might be unusual. They're trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Even if it's offshore, it might take a little longer, but all offshore accounts have to go through U.S. member firms - members of the CBOE - and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the trades. The member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable information about the client under the 'Know Your Customer' regulations (and we share all information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)"
Given all of this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators who are conducting the secret investigations have known for some time who made the options puts on a total of 38 stocks that might reasonably be anticipated to have a sharp drop in value because of an attack similar to the 9/11 episode. The silence from the investigating camps could mean several things: Either terrorists are responsible for the puts on the listed stocks or others besides terrorists had foreknowledge of the attack and used this knowledge to reap a nice financial harvest from the tragedy.
Adam Hamilton of Zeal LLC, a North Dakota-based private consulting company that publishes research on markets worldwide, stated that "I heard that $22 million in profits was made on these put options..."
Federal investigators are continuing to be so closed-mouthed about these stock trades, and it is clear that a much wider net has been cast, apparently looking for bigger international fish involved in dubious financial activity relating to the 9/11 attacks on the world stock markets.
Just a month after the attacks the SEC sent out a list of stocks to various securities firms around the world looking for information. The list includes stocks of American, United, Continental, Northwest, Southwest and US Airways airlines, as well as Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American International Group, AMR Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA Financial, Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services, Hercules Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife, Progressive Corp., General Motors, Raytheon, W.R. Grace, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Lone Star Technologies, American Express, the Citigroup Inc. ,Royal & Sun Alliance, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Vornado Reality Trust, Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co., XL Capital Ltd., and Bear Stearns.
The Times said market regulators in Germany, Japan and the US all had received information concerning the short selling of insurance, airlines and arms companies stock, all of which fell sharply in the wake of the attacks.
City of London broker and analyst Richard Crossley noted that someone sold shares in unusually large quantities beginning three weeks before the assault on the WTC and Pentagon.
He said he took this as evidence that someone had insider foreknowledge of the attacks.
"What is more awful than he should aim a stiletto blow at the heart of Western financial markets?" he added. "But to profit from it? Words fail me."
The US Government also admitted it was investigating short selling, which evinced a compellingly strong foreknowledge of the coming Arab attack.
There was unusually heavy trading in airline and insurance stocks several days before Sept.11, which essentially bet on a drop in the worth of the stocks.
It was reported by the Interdisciplinary Center, a counter-terrorism think tank involving former Israeli intelligence officers, that insiders made nearly $16 million profit by short selling shares in American and United Airlines, the two airlines that suffered hijacking, and the investment firm of Morgan Stanley, which occupied 22 floors of the WTC.
Apparently none of the suspicious transactions could be traced to bin Laden because this news item quietly dropped from sight, leaving many people wondering if it tracked back to American firms or intelligence agencies.
Most of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy" Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.
More serious was an article in the Sept. 28, 2001 edition of the Washington Post stating that officials with the instant messaging firm of Odigo in New York confirmed that two employees in Israel received text messages warning of an attack on the WTC two hours before the planes crashed into the buildings!
The firm's vice president of sales and marketing, Alex Diamandis said it was possible that the warning was sent to other Odigo members, but they had not received any reports of such.
The day after, the Jerusalem Post claimed two Israelis died on the hijacked airplanes and that 4,000 were missing at the WTC.
A week later, a Beirut television station reported that 4,000 Israeli employees of the WTC were absent the day of the attack.
This information spread across the Internet but was quickly branded a hoax.
On Sept. 19, the Washington Post reported about 113 Israelis were missing at the WTC and the next day, President Bush noted more than 130 Israelis were victims.
Finally, on Sept. 22, the New York Times stated "There were, in fact, only three Israelis who had been confirmed as dead: two on the planes and another who had been visiting the towers on business and who was identified and buried."
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations There has been a great deal of talk about the insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Government investigators have maintained a diplomatic silence about a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe of possible profiteering by interested parties with advance knowledge of the attack.
On Sept. 6, 2001, the Thursday before the tragedy, 2,075 put options were made on United Airlines and on Sept. 10, the day before the attacks, 2,282 put options were recorded for American Airlines. Given the prices at the time, this could have yielded speculators between $2 million and $4 million in profit.
The matter still is under investigation and none of the government investigating bodies -including the FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and DOJ -are speaking to reporters about insider trading. Even so, suspicion of insider trading to profit from the Sept. 11 attacks is not limited to U.S. regulators.
Investigations were initiated in a number of places including Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Spain. As in the United States, all are treating these inquiries as if they were state secrets.

War Criminal Kissinger in Charge of 9-11 Cover Up
by JACK RIDDLER
"Political satire became obsolete when Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."
- Tom Lehrer
Our lord and emperor George W. Bush has just tied together the entire ball of 9/11 lies and related wax, stuck a wick in it, and handed us the match.
He has done so by appointing Henry Kissinger chairman of the long-awaited "independent" commission to investigate the Sept. 11 attacks.
To all those who want the unvarnished truth about the "Attack on America," starting with the families of the victims, this would have been a slap in the face - were it not so laughable.
Sequel to the Warren Commission
The resident of the White House was explicit in stating that the commission is not supposed to actually investigate anything about 9/11.
Wrote the Associated Press, "Bush did not set as a primary goal for Kissinger to uncover mistakes or lapses of the government that could have prevented the Sept. 11 attacks."
So what is Henry supposed to actually do? "Instead, [Bush] said the panel should try to help the administration learn the tactics and motives of the enemy.
Aha. In other words, the panel is supposed to produce more scary stories about what the freedom-hating evildoers are planning to do to us next. Sounds like overkill: Isn't that what every department of the administration is already doing?
The Kissinger commission is being called to life nearly 15 months after the attacks.
The White House refused to sign off on the investigative body, until Congress agreed to its conditions.
The panel can issue subpoenas only if the Republican members agree. In the polite words of Stephen Push, a leader of the 9/11 families ("Families of September 11," http://www.familiesofseptember11.org), the commission concept is simply "too weak."
http://www.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/11/27/intelligence.probe.signing.ap/index.html
So far, no surprise. For fifteen months, Bush and Cheney have repeatedly acted to delay the calling of an independent 9/11 investigation. They have tried to stop the release of any information about the attacks - let alone about their level of prior knowledge! And they have otherwise established the most secretive administration in modern American history.
But Henry Kissinger? Now that is a surprise!
Who could have imagined that the Bush regime would so obviously expose themselves to ridicule by appointing one of the world's best-known war criminals, terrorist masterminds, and professional liars as the head of a New Warren Commission?
Highlights of Dr. Kissinger's Career
Kissinger's name seems to be magically entwined with the date of Sept. 11th.
As national security adviser and secretary of state in the Nixon administration, he helped engineer the CIA coup that overthrew the elected government of Chile, on Sept. 11, 1973. For a detailed account of that atrocity - the original Sept. 11th attack - see:
http://www.osamaskidneys.com/history.html#1973
In a famous comment on Chile at a 1970 White House meeting, Kissinger made no secret of his utter contempt for democratic government: "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people," he said.
Now everyone remembers where they were on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, though we know precious little about how and why the horrible crimes of that day were allowed to happen.
But who knows that on the same morning, a federal suit was being filed against Dr. Kissinger by relatives of one of his countless victims?
"Family of Slain Chilean Sues Kissinger, Helms - Military Leader Was Killed in Kidnap Attempt Linked to Nixon Administration"
By Bill Miller, Washington Post, September 11, 2001
http://www.ratical.org/ratville/KHsuedOn911.html
As a direct result of the Pinochet coup, at least 3,000 Chilean civilians were "disappeared" and assassinated.
As horrible as that was, Kissinger has been involved in even worse crimes.
As Nixon's national security adviser, Kissinger helped plan the "secret" bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in this unprovoked action against a neutral state.
The bombing destabilized the U.S.-backed Cambodian government, paving the way for the later takeover of that country by the Khmer Rouge.
But hey, let's not let mass murder detract from the man's achievements.
In 1973, Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize for reaching a deal to end the U.S. invasion of Vietnam.
The Nixon government had at first refused the Paris peace deal with North Vietnam. Instead, it chose to level Hanoi in a massive Christmas 1972 bombing, leaving nothing there but dust.
A few months later, Nixon and Kissinger accepted the same deal, with minor changes. Now that's how you win a peace prize!
Kissinger was the only major cabinet member who miraculously survived the subsequent fall of the Nixon regime. He remained Secretary of State under the appointed Un-president, Gerald Ford.
(Ford was the first "president" to not have even run in a presidential election, so there was no need to actually steal it.)
Okay, class. Anyone remember who the other key players in the 2-1/2 year Ford administration were?
Vice President: Nelson Rockefeller, brother of David.
Chief of Staff: Dick Cheney.
Secretary of Defense: Donald Rumsfeld.
Director of Central Intelligence: George Herbert Walker Bush.
Hmmm...
Papa Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Kissinger.
Sound familiar? Today, the same four men run the regime of the Idiot Prince.
Now *there* is a story for the historians of the future!
Papa Bush apparently cut some nice deals with his CIA boys at the time, and in gratitude the agency later named its new headquarters the "George Herbert Walker Bush Building."
We'll leave the rest of the Papa Bush story aside for today, though it may surpass even Kissinger's for sheer criminality. Today is Henry's day.
In 1973, while still with the Nixon administration, Kissinger became one of the founding fathers of the Trilateral Commission, together with Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller, brother of Nelson. This association of billionaires, business leaders, academics and politicians was brought together by the three men in an effort to arm the global elites of the U.S., Europe and Japan against what at the time seemed like an unprecedented social and economic crisis. The Trilateral Commission has continued to meet annually ever since.
In 1975, Kissinger travelled with Ford to Indonesia, where they met with the U.S.-backed and U.S.-armed dictator Suharto, who oversaw the killing of millions during his 35-year reign.
The day after Ford and Henry left, Indonesian forces invaded the independent territory of East Timor.
One-third of the territory's population was exterminated during the subsequent 20-year occupation, but this had little impact on continuing American and Western arms shipments to the regime in Jakarta.
Recently released documents establish that Suharto received a green light for the invasion from the President and Secretary of State, and that’s Henry.
The 9/11 panel will not be the first "Kissinger Commission."
In the early 1980s, under the Reagan-Bush administration, Henry was called to lead an investigation of U.S. policy in Central America. They provided the whitewash for the death squads that U.S. forces had armed and trained in El Salvador and Honduras, and for the "Contra" army that was organized by the CIA to invade Nicaragua.
Since then, the doctor has lived more quietly as the head of Kissinger Associates, which provides "consultancy" (door-opening) for oil and arms deals and much else besides, and which counts among its clients the U.S. government, NATO, many corporations, and foreign countries like China and Central Asia.
French prosecutors paid a surprise visit to Kissinger's Paris hotel suite in 2001, questioning him with regard to the war crimes charges that they would have been required to level under French law. They let him go his way, but henceforth, Henry will have to be a touch more discreet when strolling along the banks of the Seine.
2001 saw the publication of Christopher Hitchens's book, "The Trial of Henry Kissinger." Released in 2002, an eponymous documentary details the man's horrific and astonishing crimes.
Couldn't Bush have found anyone less conspicuous, or less farcical, to wash his dirty laundry?
One can only conclude that this was the only man the White House knew they could trust.
If you want to cover something up, better pick someone with tons of his own dirt to hide.
Kissinger's appointment is an act of tremendous hubris - or else of absolute desperation.
Is the official story of the 9/11 attacks really so wobbly that the regime must resort to hiring him?
He brought death squads to Chile in 1973.
He covered up death squads in Central America in the 1980s.
And now should we expect him to tell us the full story of how the CIA helped create Osama Binladin's death squads?
Is this guy who is going to explore why the Air Force was stood down, or why and how so many FBI agents were blocked from investigating reports that terror pilots had infiltrated the United States?
Or is Kissinger going to tell us why George W. Bush killed the FBI investigations into the Binladin family's connections to terrorism in early 2001?
Seriously. We can really have a field day with this.
But dangers lurk. Kissinger's appointment is the latest signal of an absolute and open intent to play hardball.
Let us all beware what sudden "surprises" are in store during the next days and months.
Kissinger features prominently within the "Defense Policy Board" run by Paul Wolfowitz at the Pentagon, which also includes veteran warheads Richard Perle and Newt Gingrich.
These men, termed the "Wolfowitz Cabal" by no less a personage than Colin Powell, are the Supreme Chickenhawks of the War Party.
For years they have individually and collectively called for the (further) destruction of Iraq and, depending on their mood, preemptive war with Iran, Syria, North Korea - you name it.
At a meeting earlier this year, they declared Saudi Arabia the real enemy, and considered the option of taking out the Saudis right after the planned war in Iraq.
The powerpoint presentation viewed by the group on that day concluded with the following grand strategy for the upcoming war: "Iraq is the tactical pivot, Saudi Arabia the strategic pivot, Egypt the prize."
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j080702.html
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2175947.stm
On Sept. 11, 2001, as though that day was not bad enough for all of us, Kissinger, who was in Berlin, called in to CNN during the attacks. He basically argued that the attacks fully justified any American response whatsoever. The next day, he wrote that the U.S. had every right to destroy states that "harbor people who have the capability to do something like this," emphasizing that it made no difference whether these states actually had anything to do with the Sept. 11 attacks or not.
So watch out for sudden revelations about the alleged 9/11 hijackers that "prove" both Saudi Arabia and Iraq (or any other country) must immediately be crushed.
The groundwork for such an attack, should the regime decide to go with it, has been prepared during the last weeks with the sudden "discovery" of Saudi financing of terrorism - something that never bothered the Bushes before 9/11, of course.
May fortune and God only give us enough time to work on this, and we the people will peacefully bring down this regime.
Appointing Kissinger could turn out to be their greatest blunder.
Perhaps it will finally awaken the antiwar movement to the continuing importance of learning the full truth of 9/11.
No doubt many of the antiwar organizers can well remember the early 1970s, when their protests against the Vietnam War were directed at none other than: Henry Kissinger.
Why has he of all people been given the 9/11 job?
We need to gather everything known about this man and throw it hard and wide, until the whole sham of the investigation is exposed.
If we are given enough time, and still fail to bring this house of lies crashing down, it will have been our own fault.

The Kissinger Bombshell: An Open Letter to 9/11 Skeptics and Doubters
By Jack Riddler (http://www.osamaskidneys.com/)
MORE ON ILLUMINATI ASSET HENRY KISSINGER:
From "Conspirators' Hierarchy" by John Coleman --
"The way in which Henry Kissinger, the RIIA's chief asset in the United States, came to power is a story of the triumph of the institution of the British monarchy over the Republic of the United States of America. It is a tale of horror, too long to be included here. Nevertheless, it would be remiss of me if I did not mention just a few of the highlights of Kissinger's rise to fame, fortune and power..."
"By the mid 1960's Kissinger had proved his worth to the Round Table and the RIIA, and thus to the British monarchy. As a reward and a test of what he had learned, Kissinger was placed in charge of a small group consisting of James Schlessinger, Alexander Haig, and Daniel Ellsberg, the Round Table was using to conduct a series of experiments. Cooperating with this group was the Institute of Policy Studies chief theoretician Noam Chomsky..."
"Once Kissinger was installed as National Security Advisor, (General Fritz) Kramer got Haig the job as his deputy. Ellsberg, Haig and Kissinger then set in motion the RIIA's Watergate plan to oust President Nixon for disobeying direct instructions. Haig played the lead role in brainwashing and confusing President Nixon, and in effect it was Kissinger who ran the White House during this softening up of the President.
"As I mentioned in 1984, Haig was the White House go-between known as "Deep Throat," passing information to the Washington Post team of Woodward and Bernstein..."

9-11: George Bush, Pentagon Lies & Lies & Lies...
by JOHN JUDGE
They have spent $13 trillion tax dollars since the end of WWII on this "military-intelligence complex," and they cannot protect their own headquarters?
It can track every electronic communication on earth, crack the codes of the Al Quaeda in advance of 9-11, locate bin Laden's cell phone, but it can't decipher what it all means?
And beyond that question is the more pertinent one that hardly anyone is asking.
Bush clearly and undeniably had advance knowledge of a terrorist attack on US soil using planes as weapons by 9:05 am on September 11.
NORAD had it by 8:45 in an unprecedented simultaneous hijacking of four planes.
The Pentagon had it, as did everyone in DC by 9:05 as well.
The Pentagon began to evacuate the building, as did the White House and Capitol.
EVERYONE had advance knowledge of Flight 77 coming towards DC for 40 minutes.
Yet, there was a complete defensive stand-down.
Interceptors from distant Langley AFB took off late and flew at subsonic speeds to arrive 5 minutes too late.
Planes from nearby Anacostia Naval Air Station, Andrews Air Force Base, and the 73rd Air Wing at Atlantic City, NJ never took off. Scramblers in the air already at 9:05 from Otis AFB turned to target Flight 77 and were called off, despite a formal shoot-down order from Bush/Cheney "moments after" the 9:05 crash -- which had ended any speculation of accident or coincidence or hijacking motives.
By that moment they undeniably knew in advance what was coming and where it was headed.
Local news announced that DC was the destination. Surface-to-air missiles at the White House and Pentagon remained sheathed in their silos.
Despite the planes having turned off communications with ground control towers and their identifying transponders (which also shuts off their own near-range radar screens to avoid mid-air collisions), they were clearly visible to all external radars, they were being tracked by NORAD and DC towers, and they were somehow being navigated directly to their target.
How were they allowed to come into the MOST restricted air space in the world with no challenge or defense?
That is the question that answers both when Bush knew in advance and begs any rational response.
The White House and Pentagon officials have been lying since day one about both advance intelligence knowledge that could have foiled the operation, and about their own ability to prevent, at least, the attack on the Pentagon.
Let them answer that.

Bush - Pope Ratzinger Money Laundry Conspiracy
by CHRIS FLOYD (MOSCOW TIMES)
It seemed, at first, like nothing more than a novelty item in the news briefs, the kind of odd, meaningless side-fact thrown off by most major stories: "New Pope, President's Brother Had Link in Swiss Group." But a look beneath the surface of this innocuous connection reveals a vast web of sinister alliances -- and moral corruption on a world-shaking scale.
The network links a bewildering line-up of players -- the Bushes, the Vatican, bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and China's Communist overlords, among others -- in a staggering array of crime and turpitude: prostitution, pedophilia, mass death and war profiteering.
Yet this is not some grand "conspiracy theory," a serpent's egg hatched in Bilderberg or Bohemian Grove. It's simply the way the Bush boys do business, trawling the globe for sweetheart deals and gushers of blood money from the war and terror they foment.
At the center of this particular nexus is the unlikely figure of Neil Bush, the feckless, fraudulent brother of the current president.
Neilsy, as he's known in the family, is most famous for costing American taxpayers $1 billion to bail out a savings-and-loan he had ruined with secret insider loans to his own business partners. For this massive fraud, he was fined -- by his father's administration -- the princely sum of $50,000, which was actually paid by one of his dad's political bagmen, of course.
You see, the Bushes are robber barons, not capitalists: They never risk any of their own money in the competition of the marketplace. Nor do they ever pay the price when their deals go belly-up.
Just ask George W., whose first business was jump-started with secret cash from the bin Ladens, laundered through their U.S. frontman, James Bath -- who was also hired by W.'s dad, then-CIA director George Bush Sr., to set up offshore companies for shifting CIA money and aircraft between Texas and Saudi Arabia, the Texas Observer reported.
Neilsy's latest business ventures include a partnership with one of China's own influence-peddling oligarchs: Jiang Mianheng, son of former President Jiang Zemin.
He's paying Bush $2 million for "advice" in a field - the semiconductor industry -- which Neilsy cheerfully confesses he knows nothing about.
Bush also trousered $1 million for "introductions and advice" from the CP Group, a Bangkok conglomerate spreading bipartisan gravy around Washington. In return for supplying his paymasters with a golden conduit to the White House, Neilsy received a special perk: free prostitutes, served up fresh to his hotel room during business trips to Asia.
But between his sessions of bouncy-bouncy with trafficked women, Neilsy was also sitting down with hard-line cleric Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the former soldier for Nazi Germany now translated to glory as Pope Benedict XVI.
The two men were board members of an obscure Swiss institute ostensibly devoted to "interfaith dialogue." Although the organization did have some prominent ecumenical figures on the board, none of them could say exactly why pimp-daddy Neilsy was invited to join, Newsday reported.
Perhaps there's a clue in the group's incorporation. Dunn & Bradstreet lists the supposedly nonprofit foundation as a "management trust," designed for "purposes other than education, religion, charity or research."
The group's spokesman says this designation was a "mistake," and anyway, the institute is hastily being "re-launched" with a "new focus" on its religious mission.
But a cynic -- i.e., anyone with the slightest acquaintance of Bush business practices -- might think that a "management trust" masquerading as a religious charity would be an excellent place to launder money or park assets away from the taxman's prying eyes.
Meanwhile, Ratzinger spent his time on the Swiss board trying to bury the Vatican's massive pedophilia scandal, the London Observer reported this week.
In a secret 2001 letter, he ordered Church officials to prevent police from learning about abuse allegations -- a theological innovation more commonly known in the United States as "obstructing justice." Given this criminal high-wire act, perhaps the good cardinal thought it prudent to cultivate some personal ties with a presidential sibling.
Whatever Neilsy and Der Panzerkardinal were up to in Switzerland, Ratzinger repaid their camaraderie with a decisive intervention in brother George's 2004 election, issuing a fatwa that essentially condemned any Catholic voting for John Kerry to eternal hellfire. With the Vatican's iron hand on the scales, Bush reaped an extra six percent of the Catholic vote -- a huge boost in a tight race.
But it's Neilsy's long-time partnership with Syrian-born businessman Jamal Daniel that has provided the true mother lode: war profiteering.
Daniel, also a boardmate in the Swiss adventure with Ratzinger, is a principal in New Bridge Strategies, a firm set up by top Bush insiders to steer corporate clients to the fountains of blood money flowing from George W.'s conquest of Iraq. The company makes frequent use of Neilsy's "introductions" and Middle East connections, The Financial Times reported. It also operates a profitable sideline in mercenaries.
Daniel brings his own unique connections to the regional porkfest: His family was instrumental in the creation of the Baath Party in Syria and Iraq, The Financial Times noted.
And of course, the Bush Family's covert arm, the CIA -- whose headquarters bears the name of George Sr. -- assisted not one, but two, Baathist coups in Iraq, including the bloody upheaval that brought Saddam Hussein's family faction to power, historian Roger Morris reported.
Still later, the CIA would supply Osama bin Laden and his fellow extremists with weapons, money and terrorist training: a shrewd investment whose long-term consequences -- the current "war on terror" -- are still paying fat dividends for Bush coffers.
Sure, thousands die and millions suffer from these dirty deals --
but it's not a "conspiracy." It's just business -- the Bush way.
Bush And The Pope - Buried Treasure
By Chris Floyd (Moscow Times) April 30, 2005
Editor's Note: This "foundation" sounds more and more like an offshore Bush Family Money Laundry/ Slush Fund
MORE ON THE BUSH-RATZINGER FOUNDATION:
In 1999, Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Bendict XVI) joined with the current president's brother, Neil Bush, in the creation of a little-known Swiss ecumenical group called The Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Research.
The Foundation lists wide-ranging participants -- France's chief rabbi Rene Samuel Sirat, the late Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, Jordan's Prince Hassan and others.
We have conflicting reports as to just what this foundation does. Supposedly, their big project is to publish the Old Testament in the original Hebrew. An odd goal, that -- one can find such Bibles in any good university library. On the other hand, the foundation "is listed by Dun & Bradstreet business credit reports as a management trust for purposes other than education, religion, charity or research."
Some may suspect that the organization is something of a front. How else to account for the presence of Neil Bush, a notorious financial fraudster? His Silverado Savings and Loan scandal ripped off the taxpayers to the tune of many, many millions.
At no other time in his life has Neil Bush displayed any interest in religion or the international ecumenical movement.
lthough Bush is no longer active in the foundation, Syrian-born "Orthodox lay person" Jamal Daniel -- Bush's close friend and business partner -- remains heavily involved.
Daniel's primary company, Crest Investment, pays Neil $60,000 a year for a do-nothing "consulting" job.
The Financial Times offered this quote from an unnamed Neil Bush confidant: "Jamal likes to ingratiate himself with family members of whoever's in power."
The quid pro quo should be familiar to anyone who knows W's history: A member of the Bush family lends his all-powerful name, and Daniel manages to secure high-paying government contracts for his firm.
So what does this Geneva-based ecumenical foundation really do?
Ratzinger has never been a notable friend to the ecumenical movement, while the American "born again" contingent (the Bush dynasty's power base) despises anything that smacks of ecumenism.
It is an established fact that Ratzinger did his best to unsettle Catholic support for Kerry in 2004 by publicky refusing communion for Kerry. Is there a connection between the new Pope and the Bush family?
More Bush Family connections: In 1984 Vice President George H. W. Bush and his appointments secretary, Jennifer Fitzgerald, enjoyed adjoining bedrooms in a Swiss chateau on Lake Geneva belonging to the Aga Khan's son, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, a classmate of Bush at Yale. Ambassador Fields said there was no household staff for the couple and "that' s why I had to help make certain arrangements for the laundry, that sort of thing." He said it "became clear to me that the Vice President and Ms. Fitzgerald were romantically involved and this was not a business visit...
In 1991, the first President Bush backed the Prince to become the Secretary General of the United Nations, a post that went instead to Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
Obviously, Khan was close to the Bush family -- although one should mention that the Prince sharply disagreed with Bush the elder on the issue of sanctions against Saddam's Iraq.
Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan may be the most pro-American and pro-Israel figure in his country. Interestingly enough, he is a good friend of the disgraced Ahmed Chalabi.
When Chalabi's Petra bank corruption led to an indictment in that country, the Prince personally drove Chalabi out of the country -- in the trunk of his car, it is said.
Hassan is also the president of the Club of Rome.

Game Over: Living With Bush-Cheney Kleptocracy
by CHRIS FLOYD
Let's face the facts.
The game is over and we, the "reality-based community," the believers in genuine democracy and law, the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, the toilers and dreamers, all those who seek to rise above the beast within and shape the brutal chaos of existence into something higher, richer and imbued with meaning, have lost.
The better world we thought had been won out of the blood and horror of history, a realm of enlightenment that often found its best embodiment in the ideals and aspirations of the American Republic -- is gone.
It's been swallowed by darkness, by ravening greed, by bestial spirits and by willful primitives who now possess overwhelming instruments of power and dominion.
A gang of such spirits seized control of the U.S. government by illicit means in 2000 and maintained that control through rampant electoral corruption in 2004.
The re-election of President George W. Bush last November was a deliberately shambolic process that saw massive lockouts of opposition voters; unverifiable returns compiled by easily hackable machines operated by avowed corporate partisans of the ruling party; and vast discrepancies between exit polls and final results - gaps much larger than those that led elections in Ukraine and Georgia to be condemned as manipulated frauds.
Indeed, a panel of statisticians said last week that the odds of such a discrepancy occurring naturally were 959,000 to 1, the Akron Beacon-Journal reported.
The copious documentation of the Bush fraud keeps growing. Last month, experts using actual machines and returns from the 2004 election showed Congress how a lone hacker could skew a precinct's results by 100,000 votes without leaving a trace.
More than 40 million votes in 30 states were cast on such computer systems, BlackBoxVoting noted.
Late last year, Congress heard sworn testimony from Florida programmer Clint Curtis, who created vote-rigging software in 2000 at the request of Tom Feeny, a Bush Family factotum.
Feeny wanted Curtis (a fellow Republican) and his employer, Yang Enterprises, to produce untraceable programs that could "control the vote" as needed, investigator Brad Friedman reported. Feeny also told Curtis of Bush plans to "suppress the black vote" with "exclusion lists."
This is exactly what happened. BBC investigator Greg Palast has shown that tens of thousands of legitimate African-American voters were deliberately "purged" from the rolls by a private Republican- controlled corporation hired by Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Afterwards, Feeny -- who had been Jeb's running mate in his first gubernatorial campaign -- was rewarded for his dutiful service with a plum congressional seat.
In 2002, Raymond Lemme, a Florida state government inspector, took up Curtis' charges, which included other corruption allegations involving Feeny, Yang Enterprises and a Yang employee charged with peddling military technology to the Chinese.
In June 2003, Lemme told Curtis he had "tracked the corruption all the way to the top" and that "the story would break in a few weeks." On July 1, 2003, Lemme was found dead in a Georgia hotel room, just across the Florida border.
Local police ruled that Lemme, a happily married man eagerly planning his daughter's wedding, had suddenly decided to slash his wrists. At first they said there were no photos of the death scene; but then the pictures turned up on the Internet and were confirmed as authentic by the embarrassed police.
The photos clearly contradicted the original suicide report on several points -- presenting evidence, for example, that Lemme had been beaten before his death. The investigation was reopened after Curtis' Congressional testimony -- and then abruptly shut down after local police spoke to a never-identified "someone" in the Florida state government.
Needless to say, nothing has been done to clarify the murk surrounding Lemme's convenient death. Nor has there been any action toward rectifying the highly profitable degradation of the American electoral process -- beyond the appointment of yet another "blue-ribbon panel" of Establishment worthies to oversee "election reform." The seriousness of this endeavor can be seen in the man appointed to co-chair the effort: James Baker, the notorious Bush family fixer (and Saudi bagman) who spearheaded the sabotage of the 2000 vote in Florida. Baker's presence on the panel ensures that nothing will be done to lessen the ruling clique's chokehold on power.
So let's have no illusions about where we are.
Gangsters are in charge, and nothing and no one will be allowed to challenge their dominion.
They are waging aggressive war to cement their position and that of their allies: the energy barons, the arms merchants, the construction and services cartels, the investment bankers. These power blocs now command monstrous resources and unfathomable profits; they can buy out, buy off or bury any force that opposes them.
Meanwhile, they use the loot of the stolen Republic -- its blood and treasure -- as fuel for their ever-expanding war machine: Bush now has a "secret watch-list" of 25 more countries ripe for military intervention, the Financial Times reported.
With more war crimes afoot, last month Bush issued an official "National Defense Strategy" that openly declares "judicial processes" as one of the enemies confronting the United States, actually equating them with terrorism, The Associated Press reported.
Law is "a strategy of the weak," says the Bush Doctrine, in a chilling echo of Hitlerian machtpolitik: Might makes right. The judicial process must not be allowed to "constrain or shape" American behavior in any way, the gangsters declared.
Think of it: Law is now the enemy. Democracy, as we've seen above, is the enemy.
This, the demented code of criminals and tyrants, has become the ruling doctrine of the United States -- replacing the Constitution, replacing the noble struggle for liberty and enlightenment with the howl of the beast, with a freak show of avarice and death.

Suicided -Woman Who Files Bush Rape Lawsuit Dies
by JACKSON THOREAU
"She filed a lawsuit against the Sugar Land department and said that in preparing its defense, Sugar Land police found out that she dated Bush as a minor."
Early one Saturday afternoon in July 2003, I made a simple phone call to Margie Schoedinger, a Texas woman who filed a rape lawsuit against George W. Bush in December 2002. I expected to leave a message on a machine, so I was caught a little offguard when Schoedinger answered.
She, too, sounded somewhat surprised I had called, saying she hadn't heard from many other reporters. But she talked to me for a few minutes about the legal action.
"I am still trying to prosecute [the lawsuit]," said Schoedinger, a 38-year-old African-American woman who lived in the Houston suburb of Missouri City. "I want to get this matter settled and go on with my life."
Well, Schoedinger hasn't gone on with her life. In fact, three months after I spoke to her, she died in an apparent suicide. And this matter remains unsettled.
When I asked her in July 2003 about the lack of media coverage, Schoedinger said she wasn't seeking publicity. She said she did not even know about a December 2002 article in the Fort Bend Star, the only U.S. mainstream media outlet that covered this story, to my knowledge. The Fort Bend reporter, LeaAnne Klentzman, said she even went to Schoedinger's home and talked to a man there, who said she could not come to door. While I reached and spoke to Schoedinger on my first attempt, maybe she wasn't ready to talk back in December.
Anyways, Schoedinger said she was surprised the case wasn't covered more because "it is true......People have to be accountable for what they do, and that's why I'm pursuing it."
To be sure, Schoedinger's accusations - which include being drugged and sexually assaulted numerous times by Bush and other men purporting to be FBI agents - are bizarre and hard for most people to believe. But her story fits in with those told by a growing number of people who say they were used as guinea pigs or whatever by members of the CIA or another U.S. agency who wanted to test out the latest mind-controlling drug or just have a strange form of release. And her death - let's just say government agents have made murders look like suicides before.
In her court petition, Schoedinger said police in Sugar Land, another Houston suburb where she said some assailants linked to Bush attempted to unsuccessfully abduct her from her car shortly before the 2000 election, refused to take a report or do anything about that incident. She filed a lawsuit against the Sugar Land department and said that in preparing its defense, Sugar Land police found out that she dated Bush as a minor. I didn't get a chance to ask Schoedinger about that tie and didn't meet her in person, but her driver's license listed her as being 5-foot-8 and weighing 125 pounds, for what that's worth.
The Fort Bend Star story quoted a Sugar Land police captain saying his department had no record of any complaints by Schoedinger. All he had to do was what I did - go to the Fort Bend County Internet site and do a simple search on Schoedinger's name in the area of civil court records. I found the lawsuit Schoedinger filed in December 2000 against Sugar Land police, and it even had numerous responses by the department's attorneys in that case.
Just wait. This story gets stranger.
When I started asking Schoedinger about certain details of the case, such as alleged surveillance at her home and if she was still legally representing herself, she politely ended our conversation. "I need to see what has been written," Schoedinger said. "I feel like it's best for me to end our conversation."
Obviously, she had learned to be careful about what she said and to whom she said it. I could understand her being leery about talking about her situation with a stranger over the phone.
But I remember being puzzled by Schoedinger's attitude after hanging up the phone. I wondered that if she had made up such a wild story, why she didn't come up with something a little less outlandish, in which people couldn't necessarily dismiss her as a kook. I wondered why she didn't seek publicity to at least provide some form of protection. I've long learned that being as public as possible is one of your best defenses against rogue intelligence agents. But she didn't even seem to want any media to cover her story. I told several writers I knew, some of whom tried to contact Schoedinger. None succeeded, as far as I know.
I remember thinking, "I hope she doesn't wind up on the wrong side of a gun." And sure enough, in late September, Schoedinger did.
The Houston Chronicle wrote a bare-bones obituary that stated only that Schoedinger "expired" on Sept. 22, 2003, and her burial was at Houston Memorial Gardens.
I called the Harris County Medical Examiner's office, and a clerk told me the cause of death: a "suicide" by a "gunshot wound to the head." I hung up amid bombs going off in my mind.
For one, using a gun to commit suicide is predominantly executed by males, according to psychiatrists and other sources like pharmaceutical firm Merck & Co. Women are more likely to overdose on drugs, although the number of gunshot suicides among women has increased in recent years.
Besides Pravda and Internet ezines - one of whom referred to Schoedinger as "deranged" - I haven't seen stories on this strange death of a woman who filed a rape lawsuit against the U.S. president and wound up dead nine months later. I can't say I'm surprised. Or even angry. I don't know what the hell to think. All I know is I was one of the last - if not the last - reporters to speak to Schoedinger, and she didn't sound "deranged" to me in July 2003. She sounded like someone who had gone through something weird and was trying to sort it out. She sounded like someone who wanted the truth to come out. And now she's dead.
If this had happened to Clinton when he was in the White House, do you think the story would have been covered non-stop on FOX, CNN and the right-wing talk shows? Do you think we'd have reporters asking Clinton and his people about this death in press conferences? Is FOX unfair and imbalanced to the point of being "deranged?"
There are some more odd twists to this case. I also found a 2002 criminal case related to Schoedinger in which Christopher Schoedinger, her husband, allegedly struck her. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to a year in jail. Christopher Schoedinger had also filed for divorce. Then since 1997, Margie Schoedinger had filed for at least five assumed business names for various ventures - including a communications firm, health and beauty business, travel agency and publishing company. Could a "deranged" person start all those businesses or even know how to file a lawsuit?
Schoedinger's lawsuit can still be viewed on the Fort Bend County site at http://ccweb.co.fort-bend.tx.us/localization/menu.asp - then go down to the bottom and click on civil court. Then type "schoedinger" in the plaintiff box and click search. You should find another lawsuit she filed against Sugar Land police, as well.
I can really understand media members being intimidated, even frightened, of the Bush administration. As I've detailed before, these are not Boy Scouts running the show. The Schoedinger death is just the latest in a string of strange ones surrounding the Bush family - Bush biographer J.H. Hatfield, Sen. Paul Wellstone, Sen. Mel Carnahan, and others that are detailed on various sites, including at http://members.boardhost.com/gwbush/msg/362.html .
For the record, I contacted Bush's media office about Schoedinger and have yet to hear back. Now that I live in the Washington, D.C., area, I can go down to the White House in person and try to get someone to speak to me about this case. As expected, I haven't had much luck with the Fort Bend County and other Texas authorities. So maybe I'll stand outside the White House, holding a sign saying, "Who killed Margie Schoedinger?" and passing out copies of my column on the case. It would make about as much sense as anything else in this matter.
For all I know, maybe Schoedinger did kill herself. Maybe she dreamed up a lot of this stuff. But I don't know, am I "deranged" to think it's weird that in this mass-media, detailed-information age, so few people are even asking any questions about how a woman who filed a rape lawsuit against the president could be dead less than a year later?

That is correct. Do not bother to look any further into this.
Our government always tells the truth.
The CIA always obeys the law.
There WERE weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Nixon was no crook.
The Vietnam conflict was a real war against us by "The Communists".
JFK was elected WITHOUT the help of The Mob, and was later killed by a lone nut name Lee Harvey Oswald.
Martin Luther King was killed by James Earl Ray with no help from anybody else.
Robert Kennedy likewise.
Lyndon Baines Johnson was not about to be indicted for conspiracy to commit murder while he was Vice President under Kennedy.
No government official EVER broke ANY laws, took any bribes, kickbacks, or under the table cash payoffs or murdered anyone to keep them quiet, and no government officials ever got any blowjobs from interns.

Homeland Security States of America
by NICK TURSE
If you're reading this on the Internet, the FBI may be spying on you at this very moment.
Under provisions of the USA Patriot Act, the Department of Justice has been collecting e-mail and IP (a computer's unique numeric identifier) addresses, without a warrant, using trap-and-trace surveillance devices ("pen-traps").
Now, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Justice's principal investigative arm, may be monitoring the web-surfacing habits of Internet users – also without a search warrant – that is, spying on you with no probable cause whatsoever.
In the wake of September 11, 2001, with the announcement of a potentially never-ending "war on terror" and in the name of "national security," the Bush administration embarked on a global campaign that left in its wake two war-ravaged states (with up to one hundred thousand civilian dead in just one of them); an offshore "archipelago of injustice" replete with "ghost jails" and a seemingly endless series of cases of torture, abuse, and the cold-blooded murder of prisoners.
That was abroad.
In the U.S., too, things have changed as America became "the Homeland" and an already powerful and bloated national security state developed a civilian corollary fed by fear-mongering, partisan politics, and an insatiable desire for governmental power, turf, and budget.
A host of disturbing and mutually-reinforcing patterns have emerged in the resulting new Homeland Security State – among them: a virtually unopposed increase in the intrusion of military, intelligence, and "security" agencies into the civilian sector of American society; federal abridgment of basic rights; denials of civil liberties on flimsy or previously illegal premises; warrantless sneak-and-peak searches; the wholesale undermining of privacy safeguards (including government access to library circulation records, bank records, and records of internet activity); the greater empowerment of secret intelligence courts (like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court) that threaten civil liberties; and heavy-handed federal and local law enforcement tactics designed to chill, squelch, or silence dissent.
While it's true that most Americans have yet to feel the brunt of such policies, select groups, including Muslims, Arab immigrants, Arab-Americans, and antiwar protesters, have served as test subjects for a potential Homeland Security juggernaut that, if not stopped, will only expand.
THE MILITARY BRINGS IT ALL BACK HOME
Over the past few years we've become familiar with General John Abizaid's Central Command (CENTCOM) whose "areas of responsibility" (AORs) stretch from the Horn of Africa to Central Asia, including, of course, the Iraq war zone.
Like CENTCOM, the U.S. has other commands that blanket the rest of the world, including the Pacific Command (PACCOM, established in 1947) and the European Command (EURCOM, established in 1952).
In 2002, however, the Pentagon broke new command ground by deciding, after a fashion, to bring war to the Homeland. It established the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) whose AOR is "America's homefront."
NORTHCOM is much more forthright about what it supposedly doesn't do than what it actually does. Its website repeatedly, in many forms, notes that NORTHCOM is not a police auxiliary and that the Reconstruction-era Posse Comitatus Act prevents the military from meddling much in domestic affairs.
Despite this, NORTHCOM readily, if somewhat vaguely, admits to "a cooperative relationship with federal agencies" and "information-sharing" among organizations.
NORTHCOM's commander General Ralph "Ed" Eberhart, who, the Wall Street Journal notes, is the "first general since the Civil War with operational authority exclusively over military forces within the U.S," was even more blunt when he told PBS's Newshour "[W]e are not going to be out there spying on people[, but] we get information from people who do."
Even putting NORTHCOM aside, the military has recently been creeping into civilian life in all sorts of ways. Back in 2003, for instance, Torch Concepts, an Army sub-contractor, was given JetBlue's entire 5.1 million passenger database, without the knowledge or consent of those on the list, for data-mining – a blatant breach of civilian privacy that the Army nonetheless judged not to violate the federal Privacy Act.
Then, in 2004, Army intelligence agents were caught illegally investigating civilians at a conference on Islam at the University of Texas law school in Austin.
And just recently, on the very same day the Washington Post reported that "the Pentagon… [has] created a new espionage arm and is reinterpreting U.S. law to give Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld broad authority over clandestine operations abroad," the New York Times reported that, as part of the "extraordinary army of 13,000 troops, police officers and federal agents marshaled to secure the [Presidential] inauguration," the Pentagon had deployed "super-secret commandos… with state-of-the-art weaponry" in the nation's capitol. This was done under government directives that undercut the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
According to the Times, the black-ops cadre, based out at the ultra-secretive Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, is operating under "a secret counterterrorism program code-named Power Geyser," a program just recently brought to light in Code Names, a new book by a former intelligence analyst for the Army, William M. Arkin, who says that the "special-mission units [are being used] in extra-legal missions…in the United States" on the authority of the Department of Defense's Joint Staff and with the support of the DoD's Special Operations Command and NORTHCOM.
Courtesy of the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, we've known for some time of the creation of "a secret unit that was given advance approval to kill or capture and interrogate 'high-value' suspects…" in the name of the War on Terror. Some of us may have even known that since 1989, in the name of the War on Drugs, there has been a multi-service command, (comprised of approximately 160 soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen and Department of Defense operatives) known as Joint Task Force Six (JTF-6), providing "support to federal, regional, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the continental United States."
Now, we know as well that there are an unknown number of commando squads operating in the U.S. – in the name of the war at home. Just how many and exactly what they may up to we cannot know for sure since spokespersons for the relevant Army commands refuse to offer comment and Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman will only say that "At any given time, there are a number of classified programs across the government" and that Power Geyser "may or may not exist."
The emergence of an American Homeland Security State has allowed the Army to fundamentally alter its historic role, transforming what was once illegal and then exceptional – deploying Federal troops in support of (or acting as) civilian law enforcement agencies – into standard operating procedure. But the Army is not alone in its homefront meddling.
While the Army was thwarted in its attempt to strong-arm University of Texas officials into releasing a videotape of their conference on Islam, the Navy used arm-twisting to greater effect on a domestic government agency.
The Wall Street Journal reports that, in 2003, the Office of Naval Intelligence badgered the U.S. Customs Service to hand over its database on maritime trade. At first, the Customs Service resisted the Navy's efforts, but in the post-9/11 atmosphere, like other agencies on the civil side of the ledger, it soon caved to military pressure.
In an ingenuous message sent to the Wall Street Journal, the commissioner of the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, Robert C. Bonner, excused handing over the civilian database by stating that he had received "Navy assurances that the information won't be abused."
While the Army, Navy, and NORTHCOM naturally profess to having no nefarious intent in their recent civil-side forays, history suggests wariness on the subject.
After all, the pre-Homeland-Security military already had a long history of illegal activity and illegal domestic spying (much of which came to light in the late 1960s and early 1970s) – and never suffered social stigma, let alone effectual legal or institutional consequences for its repeated transgressions.
NORTHCOM now proudly claims that it has "a cooperative relationship with federal agencies working to prevent terrorism." So you might wonder: Just which other "federal agencies" does NORTHCOM – which shouldn't be sharing information about American civilians with anyone – share information with?
The problem is, the range of choices in the world of American intelligence alone is staggering. If you've read (or read about) the 9/11 Commission Report, you may have seen the now almost iconic figure of 15 military and civilian intelligence agencies bandied about.
That in itself may seem a startling total for the nation's intelligence operations, but, in addition to the CIA, DIA, NSA, FBI and others in the "big 15" of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), there exist a whole host of shadowy, half-known, and little understood, if well-acronymed, intelligence/military/security-related offices, agencies, advisory organizations, and committees such as the Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office (DARO), the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) and the President's Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB); the Department of Defense's own domestic cop corps, the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA); and the Intelligence's Community's internal watchdog, the Defense Security Service (DSS).
Think of these various arms of intelligence and the military as the essential cast of characters in our bureaucratically proliferating Homeland Security State where everybody, it seems, is eager to get in on the act.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the operations center of the Department of Homeland Security. In its horse-shoe shaped war-room, the "FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service, and 33 other federal agencies each has its own workstation. And so do the police departments of New York, Los Angeles, Washington and six other major cities."
In the operations center, large signs on walls and doors command: "Our Mission: To Share Information"; and, to facilitate this, in its offices local police officers sit just "a step or two away from the CIA and FBI operatives who are downloading the latest intelligence coming into those agencies."
With all previous lines between domestic and foreign, local and federal spying, policing, and governmental oversight now blurring, this (according to outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge) is "the new model of federalism" in action.
From the military to local governments, from ostensibly civilian federal agencies to obscure counter-intelligence organizations, they're all on the make, creating interagency alliances, setting up new programs, expanding their powers, gearing up operations and/or creating "Big Brother" technologies to more effectively monitor civilians, chill dissent, and bring the war back home.
Right now, nothing is closer to the heart of Homeland Security State officials (and to their budgetary plans) than that old standby of dictatorships and oppressive regimes worldwide, surveillance – by and of the Homeland population. In fact, almost every day, new examples of ever-hopeful surveillance programs pop up.
Of course, as yet, we only have clues to the well-classified larger Homeland surveillance picture, but even what we do know of the growing public face of surveillance in America should cause some eyes to roll. Here's a brief overview of just a few of the less publicized, but mostly public, attempts to ramp up the eye-power of the Homeland Security State.

A little known member of the alphabet soup of federal agencies is the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (more familiarly known by the unpronounceable acronym NCIX) – an organization whose main goal is "to improve the performance of the counterintelligence (CI) community in identifying, assessing, prioritizing and countering intelligence threats to the United States."
To accomplish this task, NCIX now offers that ultimate necessity for Homeland security, downloadable "counterintelligence and security awareness posters."
One features the text of the First Amendment to the Constitution ("…Congress shall make no law… prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech…") and the likeness of Thomas Jefferson, but with a new addendum which reads: "American freedom includes a responsibility to protect U.S. security – leaking sensitive information erodes this freedom."
Another NCIX poster might come straight out of the old Soviet East Germany: "America's Security is Your Responsibility. Observe and Report."
While NCIX is an obscure agency, its decision to improve on the First Amendment and a fundamental American freedom is indicative of where our Homeland Security State is heading; and the admonition to "Observe and Report" catches its spirit exactly.
EVERY WO/MAN A G-MAN
Prior to the Republican National Convention in New York City, the Federal Bureau of Investigation sent agents across the country in what was widely seen as a blatant attempt to harass, intimidate, and frighten potential protesters.
The FBI, however, countered by professing that "we have always followed the rules, sensitive to Americans' constitutional rights to free speech and assembly, always drawing the line between lawfully protected speech and illegal activity."
By the fall of 2004, however, FBI spokespeople had moved on from such anodyne reassurances and, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, the bureau was launching its "October Plan." According to a CBS news report, this program consisted of "aggressive – even obvious – surveillance techniques to be used on… people suspected of being terrorist sympathizers, but who have not committed a crime" while "[o]ther 'persons of interest,' including their family members, m[ight] also be brought in for questioning…"
While harassing citizens at home, the FBI, which can't set up a successful internal computer system of its own (despite squandering at least $170 million on the project), began dabbling in overseas e-censorship, by confiscating servers in the United Kingdom from Indymedia, the activist media network website "with apparently no explanation."
As Ward Harkavy reported in the Village Voice, "The network of activists has not been accused of breaking any laws. But all of the material actually on some of its key servers and hard disks was seized." More recently, the creator of an open-source tool designed to help internet security experts scan networks, services, and applications says he's been "pressured" by the FBI for copies of the web server log that hosts his website.
In addition to intimidation tactics and tech-centric activities, the FBI has apparently been using Joint Terrorism Task Forces (teams of state and local law enforcement officers, FBI and other federal agents) as well as local police to conduct "political surveillance" of environmental activists as well as anti-war and religious-based protest groups.
The bureau is also eager to farm out such work to ordinary Americans and has been calling on the public to do some old-fashioned peeping through the blinds, just in case the neighbors are up to "certain kinds of activities [that] indicate terrorist plans that are in the works."
INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER
Strange as it may seem, the Air Force has also gotten into the local surveillance act with an "Eagle Eyes" anti-terrorism initiative which "enlists" average citizens in the "war on terror." The Eagle Eyes' website tells viewers: "You and your family are encouraged to learn the categories of suspicious behavior" and it exhorts the public to drop a dime to "a network of local, 24-hour phone numbers… whenever a suspicious activity is observed."
Just what, then, constitutes "suspicious activity"? Well, among activities worth alerting the flying eagles to, there's the use of cameras (either still or video), note taking of any sort, making annotations on maps, or using binoculars (birdwatchers beware!). And what other patterns of behavior does the Air Force think should send you running to the phone?
A surefire indicator of terrorists afoot: "Suspicious persons out of place…. People who don't seem to belong in the workplace, neighborhood, business establishment, or anywhere else." Just ponder that one for a moment – and, if you ever get lost, be afraid, very afraid…
While the Air Force does grudgingly admit that "this category is hard to define," it offers a classic you-know-it-when-you-see-it definition for calling your local eagle: "The point is that people know what looks right and what doesn't look right in their neighborhoods, office spaces, commutes [sic], etc, and if a person just doesn't seem like he or she belongs…" An… ahem… urban looking youth in a suburban white community?
Call it in! A crusty punk near Wall Street? Drop a dime! A woman near the White House wearing an anti-war t-shirt. Well, that's an out-of-category no-brainer!
And, in fact, much of this has already begun to come true. After all, "suspicious persons out of place" now do get arrested in the new Homeland Security State for such offenses as wearing anti-Bush t-shirts, carrying anti-Bush signs or just heckling the president.
Today, even displaying an anti-Bush sticker is, in the words of the Secret Service, apparently "borderline terrorism." Holding a sign that reads, "This war is Bushit," warrants a citation from the cops and, as an eleven year old boy found out, the sheriff might come calling on you if you utter "anti-American" statements – while parents may be questioned by law enforcement officials to ascertain if they're teaching "anti-American values" at home.

The Mind Altering Abilities of Chemtrails
by ANONYMOUS
Watching the debates over (and phone taps to my line here) since sending you my email of yesterday, it occurred to me that I should get this last email out to you regarding and expanding upon the reasons for CTs, as well as dealing with issues sure to be discounted by the agents of the ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence, the agency in charge of the Chemtrails Ops.)
Taking each issue in turn might help shed some light upon this problem.
The overall scope and agenda behind Chemtrails (Operation Clover Leaf, Operation Red Sky, Operation Rain Dance, the code names for these ops, BTW) intertwines several overall objectives deemed imperative by the real power in DC, which is the NSA.
It should be noted that most of the intel groups that are involved in domestic control are, in varying degrees, "in the loop" on this business and are actively working with the ONI and NSA in seeing this program succeed.
Listing all the agencies would be moot and pointless. What would anyone do with the knowledge anyway? The reason I say this has to due with STO vs.
STS.
Here's what we mean:
By conservative estimates, there are over 300,000 people in the USA alone that are chemtrails aware. Of those, only about 125 people have undertaken an active campaign to educate and inform the masses about this "final solution." Do the math.
How many of you know what the word apathy means? The agencies are counting upon this apathy and in fact, helped create that state of consciousness to begin with way back in the late 1950 (Fluoridation, Aspartame, street narcotics.)
If such a small percentage were actually doing anything about the phenomena, then wouldn't these same agencies be correct in their analysis that "they don't have anything to worry about?" The facts speak for themselves.
They will in fact succeed, because they are at the 80% completion point in these CT operations. They will be finished by March of 2001.
Main and ancillary operational objectives of Chemtrails as outlined in Operation Red Sky,
Phase One:
Main objective: Creative cleavages in spatial perceptions. Creating a blockage in the brain of the interaction of various amino acids that relate to higher consciousness and the increase of dopamine in the brain producing a listless, euphoric state of lower, reactive mind.
This, though most cannot (won't?) process this perception, is their main objective. It has many layers to it, and the salts found in these CTS are the prime indicators of just why they use such a vector to create this state in the human brain, the physical repository of and connecting point between the real and the unreal.
To understand this goal necessitates an understanding of the human soul, the Self (Christ or God within, if you like) and the connection between the two as related to the endocrine system functioning within each human host.
Pay close attention to these last words, as "host" indicates that there is a parasitic relationship to be established. Many UFO abductions are part of this op.
To begin with, we must understand that our intelligence agencies are operating at a very high level of OCCULT SKILL AND AWARENESS, as taught to them by their progenitors, the Nazis of old who were brought here in 1947 through 1953 via various operations, the most common known being operation Paper-Clip.
In short, any Intel agent of a G20 rating is a practicing black magician entirely "sold out," soul-wise, (via rites, rituals, and esoteric training in Long Island, Florida, and California) and are speaking plainly functioning black Adepts with a complete and unquestioned license to kill.
These are the top-level agency personnel. Make no mistake. These are the very same men and women who run the Mind Control Ops (CIA), the abduction of children (FBI) on a staggering global level, are involved in and are the contactees between the Ets (USAF, ONI, NSA, etc) and our government, ad nauseam.
In short, to understand Chemtrails we must understand the personnel who have the power to do what they want, whenever they want, and we must also understand their needs.
They need the following:
1. The overall "frequency" of each of their charges (human beings in each country) to function at a specific rate below the threshold of awareness.
The study of brain-wave, Remote Viewing techniques, and other related research holds the key to this. As we know, a physical brain functioning at 12 to 14 cycles per second is agitated and cannot, therefore, become perceptive of any cycle not within the same frequency, especially if that BRAIN IS ARTIFICIALLY stabilized to that frequency.
How can one perceive love, when the brain can only register impatience, anger, etc?
(Remember, their goal has to do with our souls in dimensions humanity has never, ever, considered.)
It is because of the occult nature of our covert agencies (and the real powers running them) that most cannot even begin to research in the right direction to begin with.
2. The immune system of the host must be depleted.
This relates to control, simply put. If the slightest breeze makes you dizzy, what kind of defense can you be expected to put up if you can't lift your arms above your head without getting a headache?
The many outnumber the few. This is the main reason for much of the desiccated red blood cells found in chemtrails: biowarfare. This also allows the parasite to latch onto the human host with little resistance from the organism so attached.
3. They need agreement.
This last statement is by far the MOST CRUCIAL STAGE of all. It isn't enough to make us slaves, we MUST WANT TO BECOME SLAVES.
Food scarcity, low wages, false idealism as propagated via network commercials, all create a state of low-level dependency to a state system, but it is not enough.
To win (want to know what winning is to the CIA?) these ruling covert agencies need our permission to do what they will to us (Universal Law, no getting around that one and they've known this since 1847.)
The system of this biosphere has one final gate that only each of us can open or close and it is, in fact, free will.
Free will. such a concept. That alone would take another ten pages, but there's no time.
Once we understand their needs, their objectives become easily understandable and quite discernable. The real questions never-NEVER-asked in any chemtrails discussions is
What do they want?
How must they achieve it?
Ancillary objective: create and maintain a lowered immune system, for use by phase three, which is the execution of their binary weapons systems, to be triggered by microwaves.
Know what a GWEN tower is? Better find out and soon, as you can see them everywhere from your homes and offices. Ever wonder why we have so very many cell phones practically given away for free right now? Know what a burst transmitter is?
Does anyone have even the remotest idea of what a low-watt microwave transmission does to the cerebellum when the human brain is within three feet of such a device?
If you lack this knowledge, then it is to your detriment. The information is out there. Get hip.
The great side benefit that even the NSA didn't predict (their estimate was a little over 3%) is the 12% reduction in population chemtrails are giving our "masters." That's right - 12%.
In the distant future, the 1990s and beyond will become known as "the great dying."
In August of 2000, the sky over Los Angeles was actually blood red for two days. (They over-sprayed, due to fucked up orders at Edwards AFB.) The morgues were packed solid for a week and over-flowing. There are still hundreds of thousands reeling from that two-day period. Many hospitals and clinics ran out of antibiotics overnight.
Binary weapons need to be triggered and they will use FM, AM, and Microwave GWEN towers to do it. It's all setup, op completed in 1998.
Why do this? Wake up! Can't control 6+ billion people - too many. Got to thin them out to keep them in line. I can see the squeemers now as they read this.
How and when will they go to stage two on this op? Can you say fake alien invasion, with millions dying and getting sick overnight? The test for this will be a planned (already complete staged op, in fact, WNV) biowarfare incident on a major US or European or Australia (last most likely, as they are already completely disarmed down under.)
This will give them the final test data they need to go to stage two, which is the invasion occasionally, hinted at once and a while on the Internet.
Now I must be crazy, right? At least, when I die, I will know who and why. That's more than I can say for most. Tough love. It seems the only way to reach you people.
Culling of the Biosphere:
Many folks will rightly say that "the culling of the elderly, et al" is flat-out nonsense because CTS affect the sprayers as well as the civilian population. That assertion is essentially correct, but the following should be noted:
1. A virus can only affect you if you are not immunized from it. Think these folks are up to date with their "private cache" of vaccines? Sure. You don't send out a binary weapon until you are damn certain it won't kill you, the killer. This reaction of "the sprayers breathe it in, too!" is grasping at straws that don't even exist in any reality. Simply put: it is denial.
2. They simply don't care who they kill, even their own pawns and puppets in the military -- "fuck 'em."
That's the CIA way. Get used to it.
Too hard for you? Don't like the words?
They use them a hundred times a day, just ask anyone who has ever been debriefed by these agencies; they have the foulest mouths on the planet. Red Grid/Blue Grid
TO BE CONTINUED, IF POSSIBLE
In the end, the how, the who, the when of chemtrails is just so much smoke and mirrors. Just because you've identified the UH1H helicopter, the KC-135 tanker, and the use of Boeing 737s in Chemtrails is really, again in the end, meaningless. We all know who were the shooters in Dallas, but so what? That knowledge doesn't change anything. Find out who is giving the orders and why and then you've got something.
NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST
<<< MAIN OBJECTIVE: CREATIVE CLEAVAGES IN SPATIAL PERCEPTIONS. CREATING A BLOCKAGE IN THE BRAIN OF THE INTERACTION OF VARIOUS AMINO ACIDS THAT RELATE TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE INCREASE OF DOPAMINE IN THE BRAIN PRODUCING A LISTLESS, EUPHORIC STATE OF LOWER, REACTIVE MIND. THIS, THOUGH MOST CANNOT (WON'T?) PROCESS THIS PERCEPTION, IS THEIR MAIN OBJECTIVE.

Michael / World-Action, November 2002:
My main intention of posting this is to remind us of the abilities of chemtrails to confuse us about what is real and what is not real.
According to the above, their aim was to come to a level of completion of chemtrail spraying by MARCH 2000 - this was right at the beginning of the reign of the NWO's new main puppet: George Bush Junior - essentially George Bush Senior and his shadowy oil, power & world domination people.
Very soon after March 2001, the world's credulity was started to be stretched to the limit, with strange and insane policies by the Bush Administration.
Then came the thumping great lie and world rape and traumatisation of '9-11'..... and Chemtrails had been sprayed intensively over the previous two to three years, circulating to every breathing entity on Earth due to global wind currents.

How Bush's Grandfather Helped Hitler Rise to Power
by BEN ARIS & DUNCAN CAMPBELL (THE GUARDIAN - U.K.)
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time.
There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.
Remarkably, little of Bush's dealings with Germany has received public scrutiny, partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him. But now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two Holocaust survivors against the Bush family, and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make Prescott Bush's business history an uncomfortable issue for his grandson, George W, as he seeks re-election.
While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade.
The Guardian has seen evidence that shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that represented Thyssen's US interests and he continued to work for the bank after America entered the war.
TANTALISING
Bush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.
Thyssen owned the largest steel and coal company in Germany and grew rich from Hitler's efforts to re-arm between the two world wars. One of the pillars in Thyssen's international corporate web, UBC, worked exclusively for, and was owned by, a Thyssen-controlled bank in the Netherlands. More tantalising are Bush's links to the Consolidated Silesian Steel Company (CSSC), based in mineral rich Silesia on the German-Polish border. During the war, the company made use of Nazi slave labour from the concentration camps, including Auschwitz. The ownership of CSSC changed hands several times in the 1930s, but documents from the US National Archive declassified last year link Bush to CSSC, although it is not clear if he and UBC were still involved in the company when Thyssen's American assets were seized in 1942.
Three sets of archives spell out Prescott Bush's involvement. All three are readily available, thanks to the efficient US archive system and a helpful and dedicated staff at both the Library of Congress in Washington and the National Archives at the University of Maryland.
The first set of files, the Harriman papers in the Library of Congress, show that Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen.
The second set of papers, which are in the National Archives, are contained in vesting order number 248 which records the seizure of the company assets. What these files show is that on October 20 1942 the alien property custodian seized the assets of the UBC, of which Prescott Bush was a director.
Having gone through the books of the bank, further seizures were made against two affiliates, the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. By November, the Silesian-American Company, another of Prescott Bush's ventures, had also been seized.
The third set of documents, also at the National Archives, are contained in the files on IG Farben, who was prosecuted for war crimes.
A report issued by the Office of Alien Property Custodian in 1942 stated of the companies that "since 1939, these (steel and mining) properties have been in possession of and have been operated by the German government and have undoubtedly been of considerable assistance to that country's war effort".
Prescott Bush, a 6ft 4in charmer with a rich singing voice, was the founder of the Bush political dynasty and was once considered a potential presidential candidate himself. Like his son, George, and grandson, George W, he went to Yale where he was, again like his descendants, a member of the secretive and influential Skull and Bones student society. He was an artillery captain in the first world war and married Dorothy Walker, the daughter of George Herbert Walker, in 1921.
In 1924, his father-in-law, a well-known St Louis investment banker, helped set him up in business in New York with Averill Harriman, the wealthy son of railroad magnate E H Harriman in New York, who had gone into banking.
One of the first jobs Walker gave Bush was to manage UBC. Bush was a founding member of the bank and the incorporation documents, which list him as one of seven directors, show he owned one share in UBC worth $125.
The bank was set up by Harriman and Bush's father-in-law to provide a US bank for the Thyssens, Germany's most powerful industrial family.
August Thyssen, the founder of the dynasty had been a major contributor to Germany's first world war effort and in the 1920s, he and his sons Fritz and Heinrich established a network of overseas banks and companies so their assets and money could be whisked offshore if threatened again.
By the time Fritz Thyssen inherited the business empire in 1926, Germany's economic recovery was faltering. After hearing Adolf Hitler speak, Thyssen became mesmerised by the young firebrand. He joined the Nazi party in December 1931 and admits backing Hitler in his autobiography, 'I Paid Hitler,' when the National Socialists were still a radical fringe party.
He stepped in several times to bail out the struggling party: in 1928 Thyssen had bought the Barlow Palace on Briennerstrasse, in Munich, which Hitler converted into the Brown House, the headquarters of the Nazi party. The money came from another Thyssen overseas institution, the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvarrt in Rotterdam.
By the late 1930s, Brown Brothers Harriman, which claimed to be the world's largest private investment bank, and UBC had bought and shipped millions of dollars of gold, fuel, steel, coal and US treasury bonds to Germany, both feeding and financing Hitler's build-up to war.
Between 1931 and 1933 UBC bought more than $8m worth of gold, of which $3m was shipped abroad. According to documents seen by the Guardian, after UBC was set up it transferred $2m to BBH accounts and between 1924 and 1940 the assets of UBC hovered around $3m, dropping to $1m only on a few occasions.
In 1941, Thyssen fled Germany after falling out with Hitler but he was captured in France and detained for the remainder of the war.
There was nothing illegal in doing business with the Thyssens throughout the 1930s and many of America's best-known business names invested heavily in the German economic recovery. However, everything changed after Germany invaded Poland in 1939. Even then it could be argued that BBH was within its rights continuing business relations with the Thyssens until the end of 1941 as the US was still technically neutral until the attack on Pearl Harbor. The trouble started on July 30 1942 when the New York Herald-Tribune ran an article entitled "Hitler's Angel Has $3m in US Bank". UBC's huge gold purchases had raised suspicions that the bank was in fact a "secret nest egg" hidden in New York for Thyssen and other Nazi bigwigs. The Alien Property Commission (APC) launched an investigation.
There is no dispute over the fact that the US government seized a string of assets controlled by BBH - including UBC and SAC - in the autumn of 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy act. What is in dispute is if Harriman, Walker and Bush did more than own these companies on paper.
Erwin May, a treasury attache and officer for the department of investigation in the APC, was assigned to look into UBC's business. The first fact to emerge was that Roland Harriman, Prescott Bush and the other directors didn't actually own their shares in UBC but merely held them on behalf of Bank voor Handel. Strangely, no one seemed to know who owned the Rotterdam-based bank, including UBC's president.
May wrote in his report of August 16 1941: "Union Banking Corporation, incorporated August 4 1924, is wholly owned by the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N.V of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. My investigation has produced no evidence as to the ownership of the Dutch bank. Mr Cornelis [sic] Lievense, president of UBC, claims no knowledge as to the ownership of the Bank voor Handel but believes it possible that Baron Heinrich Thyssen, brother of Fritz Thyssen, may own a substantial interest."
May cleared the bank of holding a golden nest egg for the Nazi leaders but went on to describe a network of companies spreading out from UBC across Europe, America and Canada, and how money from voor Handel travelled to these companies through UBC.
By September May had traced the origins of the non-American board members and found that Dutchman HJ Kouwenhoven - who met with Harriman in 1924 to set up UBC - had several other jobs: in addition to being the managing director of voor Handel he was also the director of the August Thyssen bank in Berlin and a director of Fritz Thyssen's Union Steel Works, the holding company that controlled Thyssen's steel and coal mine empire in Germany.
Within a few weeks, Homer Jones, the chief of the APC investigation and research division sent a memo to the executive committee of APC recommending the US government vest UBC and its assets. Jones named the directors of the bank in the memo, including Prescott Bush's name, and wrote: "Said stock is held by the above named individuals, however, solely as nominees for the Bank voor Handel, Rotterdam, Holland, which is owned by one or more of the Thyssen family, nationals of Germany and Hungary. The 4,000 shares hereinbefore set out are therefore beneficially owned and help for the interests of enemy nationals, and are vestible by the APC," according to the memo from the National Archives seen by the Guardian.
RED-HANDED
Jones recommended that the assets be liquidated for the benefit of the government, but instead UBC was maintained intact and eventually returned to the American shareholders after the war. Some claim that Bush sold his share in UBC after the war for $1.5m - a huge amount of money at the time - but there is no documentary evidence to support this claim. No further action was ever taken nor was the investigation continued, despite the fact UBC was caught red-handed operating a American shell company for the Thyssen family eight months after America had entered the war and that this was the bank that had partly financed Hitler's rise to power.
The most tantalising part of the story remains shrouded in mystery: the connection, if any, between Prescott Bush, Thyssen, Consolidated Silesian Steel Company (CSSC) and Auschwitz.
Thyssen's partner in United Steel Works, which had coal mines and steel plants across the region, was Friedrich Flick, another steel magnate who also owned part of IG Farben, the powerful German chemical company.
Flick's plants in Poland made heavy use of slave labour from the concentration camps in Poland. According to a New York Times article published in March 18 1934 Flick owned two-thirds of CSSC while "American interests" held the rest.
The US National Archive documents show that BBH's involvement with CSSC was more than simply holding the shares in the mid-1930s. Bush's friend and fellow "bonesman" Knight Woolley, another partner at BBH, wrote to Averill Harriman in January 1933 warning of problems with CSSC after the Poles started their drive to nationalise the plant. "The Consolidated Silesian Steel Company situation has become increasingly complicated, and I have accordingly brought in Sullivan and Cromwell, in order to be sure that our interests are protected," wrote Knight. "After studying the situation Foster Dulles is insisting that their man in Berlin get into the picture and obtain the information which the directors here should have. You will recall that Foster is a director and he is particularly anxious to be certain that there is no liability attaching to the American directors."
But the ownership of the CSSC between 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland and 1942 when the US government vested UBC and SAC is not clear.
"SAC held coal mines and definitely owned CSSC between 1934 and 1935, but when SAC was vested there was no trace of CSSC. All concrete evidence of its ownership disappears after 1935 and there are only a few traces in 1938 and 1939," says Eva Schweitzer, the journalist and author whose book, America and the Holocaust, is published next month.
Silesia was quickly made part of the German Reich after the invasion, but while Polish factories were seized by the Nazis, those belonging to the still neutral Americans (and some other nationals) were treated more carefully as Hitler was still hoping to persuade the US to at least sit out the war as a neutral country. Schweitzer says American interests were dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The Nazis bought some out, but not others.
The two Holocaust survivors suing the US government and the Bush family for a total of $40bn in compensation claim both materially benefited from Auschwitz slave labour during the second world war.
Kurt Julius Goldstein, 87, and Peter Gingold, 85, began a class action in America in 2001, but the case was thrown out by Judge Rosemary Collier on the grounds that the government cannot be held liable under the principle of "state sovereignty".
Jan Lissmann, one of the lawyers for the survivors, said: "President Bush withdrew President Bill Clinton's signature from the treaty [that founded the court] not only to protect Americans, but also to protect himself and his family."
Lissmann argues that genocide-related cases are covered by international law, which does hold governments accountable for their actions. He claims the ruling was invalid as no hearing took place.
In their claims, Mr Goldstein and Mr Gingold, honorary chairman of the League of Anti-fascists, suggest the Americans were aware of what was happening at Auschwitz and should have bombed the camp.
The lawyers also filed a motion in The Hague asking for an opinion on whether state sovereignty is a valid reason for refusing to hear their case. A ruling is expected within a month.
The petition to The Hague states: "From April 1944 on, the American Air Force could have destroyed the camp with air raids, as well as the railway bridges and railway lines from Hungary to Auschwitz. The murder of about 400,000 Hungarian Holocaust victims could have been prevented."
The case is built around a January 22 1944 executive order signed by President Franklin Roosevelt calling on the government to take all measures to rescue the European Jews. The lawyers claim the order was ignored because of pressure brought by a group of big American companies, including BBH, where Prescott Bush was a director.
Lissmann said: "If we have a positive ruling from the court it will cause [president] Bush huge problems and make him personally liable to pay compensation."
The US government and the Bush family deny all the claims against them.
In addition to Eva Schweitzer's book, two other books are about to be published that raise the subject of Prescott Bush's business history.
The author of the second book, to be published next year, John Loftus, is a former US attorney who prosecuted Nazi war criminals in the 70s. Now living in St Petersburg, Florida and earning his living as a security commentator for Fox News and ABC radio, Loftus is working on a novel which uses some of the material he has uncovered on Bush. Loftus stressed that what Prescott Bush was involved in was just what many other American and British businessmen were doing at the time.
"You can't blame Bush for what his grandfather did any more than you can blame Jack Kennedy for what his father did - bought Nazi stocks - but what is important is the cover-up, how it could have gone on so successfully for half a century, and does that have implications for us today?" he said.
"This was the mechanism by which Hitler was funded to come to power, this was the mechanism by which the Third Reich's defence industry was re-armed, this was the mechanism by which Nazi profits were repatriated back to the American owners, this was the mechanism by which investigations into the financial laundering of the Third Reich were blunted," said Loftus, who is vice-chairman of the Holocaust Museum in St Petersburg.
"The Union Banking Corporation was a holding company for the Nazis, for Fritz Thyssen," said Loftus. "At various times, the Bush family has tried to spin it, saying they were owned by a Dutch bank and it wasn't until the Nazis took over Holland that they realised that now the Nazis controlled the apparent company and that is why the Bush supporters claim when the war was over they got their money back. Both the American treasury investigations and the intelligence investigations in Europe completely bely that, it's absolute horseshit. They always knew who the ultimate beneficiaries were."
"There is no one left alive who could be prosecuted but they did get away with it," said Loftus. "As a former federal prosecutor, I would make a case for Prescott Bush, his father-in-law (George Walker) and Averill Harriman [to be prosecuted] for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They remained on the boards of these companies knowing that they were of financial benefit to the nation of Germany."
Loftus said Prescott Bush must have been aware of what was happening in Germany at the time. "My take on him was that he was a not terribly successful in-law who did what Herbert Walker told him to. Walker and Harriman were the two evil geniuses, they didn't care about the Nazis any more than they cared about their investments with the Bolsheviks."
What is also at issue is how much money Bush made from his involvement. His supporters suggest that he had one token share. Loftus disputes this, citing sources in "the banking and intelligence communities" and suggesting that the Bush family, through George Herbert Walker and Prescott, got $1.5m out of the involvement. There is, however, no paper trail to this sum.
The third person going into print on the subject is John Buchanan, 54, a Miami-based magazine journalist who started examining the files while working on a screenplay.
Last year, Buchanan published his findings in the venerable but small-circulation New Hampshire Gazette under the headline "Documents in National Archives Prove George Bush's Grandfather Traded With the Nazis - Even After Pearl Harbor".
He expands on this in his book to be published next month - Fixing America: Breaking the Stranglehold of Corporate Rule, Big Media and the Religious Right.
In the article, Buchanan, who has worked mainly in the trade and music press with a spell as a muckraking reporter in Miami, claimed that "the essential facts have appeared on the internet and in relatively obscure books but were dismissed by the media and Bush family as undocumented diatribes".
Buchanan suffers from hypermania, a form of manic depression, and when he found himself rebuffed in his initial efforts to interest the media, he responded with a series of threats against the journalists and media outlets that had spurned him. The threats, contained in e-mails, suggested that he would expose the journalists as "traitors to the truth".
Unsurprisingly, he soon had difficulty getting his calls returned. Most seriously, he faced aggravated stalking charges in Miami, in connection with a man with whom he had fallen out over the best way to publicise his findings. The charges were dropped last month.
BIOGRAPHY
Buchanan said he regretted his behaviour had damaged his credibility but his main aim was to secure publicity for the story. Both Loftus and Schweitzer say Buchanan has come up with previously undisclosed documentation.
The Bush family have largely responded with no comment to any reference to Prescott Bush. Brown Brothers Harriman also declined to comment.
The Bush family recently approved a flattering biography of Prescott Bush entitled Duty, Honour, Country by Mickey Herskowitz. The publishers, Rutledge Hill Press, promised the book would "deal honestly with Prescott Bush's alleged business relationships with Nazi industrialists and other accusations".
In fact, the allegations are dealt with in less than two pages. The book refers to the Herald-Tribune story by saying that "a person of less established ethics would have panicked ... Bush and his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman informed the government regulators that the account, opened in the late 1930s, was 'an unpaid courtesy for a client' ... Prescott Bush acted quickly and openly on behalf of the firm, served well by a reputation that had never been compromised. He made available all records and all documents. Viewed six decades later in the era of serial corporate scandals and shattered careers, he received what can be viewed as the ultimate clean bill."
The Prescott Bush story has been condemned by both conservatives and some liberals as having nothing to do with the current president. It has also been suggested that Prescott Bush had little to do with Averill Harriman and that the two men opposed each other politically.
However, documents from the Harriman papers include a flattering wartime profile of Harriman in the New York Journal American and next to it in the files is a letter to the financial editor of that paper from Prescott Bush congratulating the paper for running the profile. He added that Harriman's "performance and his whole attitude has been a source of inspiration and pride to his partners and his friends".
The Anti-Defamation League in the US is supportive of Prescott Bush and the Bush family.
In a statement last year they said that "rumours about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated ... Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathiser."
However, one of the country's oldest Jewish publications, the Jewish Advocate, has aired the controversy in detail.
More than 60 years after Prescott Bush came briefly under scrutiny at the time of a faraway war, his grandson is facing a different kind of scrutiny but one underpinned by the same perception that, for some people, war can be a profitable business.

CIA Confirms Nazis Worked for US
by UPI
CIA says Nazi general was intelligence source
Wednesday, 20 September 2000 20:28 (ET)
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sept. 20 (UPI) -- The Central Intelligence Agency has for the first time confirmed that a high-ranking Nazi general placed his anti-Soviet spy ring at the disposal of the United States during the early days of the Cold War. The National Archives said in a release Wednesday that the CIA had filed an affidavit in U.S. District Court "acknowledgingan intelligence relationship with German General Reinhard Gehlen that it has kept secret for 50 years."
"The CIA's announcement marks the first acknowledgement by that agency that it had any relationship with Gehlen and opens the way for declassification of records about the relationship," the National Archives said. Gehlen was Hitler's senior intelligence officer on the Eastern Front during the war and transferred his expertise and contacts to the U.S. as World War II reached its climax. While Gehlen's relationship with U.
. intelligence during the 1940s and 1950s has been the topic of some five books over the years, the eventual release of CIA documents pertaining to the development of his European spy ring could shed new light on the origins of the Cold War and early U.S. espionage efforts against Moscow.
Gehlen's network of agents in Europe - including many with Nazi backgrounds who were bailed out of prisoner of war camps by U.S. intelligence officers - was known as the Gehlen Organization and received millions of dollars in funding from the U.S. until 1956. The CIA's acknowledgement of its dealings with Gehlen came in a response to an appeal of a Freedom of Information Act request by researcher Carl Oglesby, the National Archives said. The agency pledged to release its records on the general in accordance with the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act.
The Act established the Nazi War Criminal Records Interagency Working Group (IWG), which for more than two years has been declassifying documents related to World War II war crimes and releasing them through the National Archives. "This shows that the law is working," said former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, a member of the IWG. "We now must work closely with the Agency to follow through with the release of these records."

Condoleezza Rice, You Are a Liar
by CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS
Open Letter to National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice
Hon. Condoleezza Rice
National Security Advisor
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
April 9, 2004
Dear Ms. Rice:
I am writing to communicate four points regarding your testimony yesterday under oath before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
Point #1: You are a liar.
Attorney General Ashcroft sits on the National Security Council. Warned by his FBI security detail, the head of law enforcement for the United States knew to avoid commercial airlines on September 11, 2001.
It was your job as National Security Advisor to make sure that the people who flew on American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, United Airlines Flight 93 and American Airlines Flight 77 had the benefit of the same warnings as those they paid to protect us.
You knew. You kept silent. They died.
You had numerous warnings of the risks of 9-11 – sufficient to let the American people know and use their best judgment as to how to protect themselves from a possible attack.
It was your job as National Security Advisor to make sure that the people in the South Tower of the World Trade Center had the knowledge they needed to evacuate their building upon seeing the North Tower hit by a plane.
You knew. You kept silent. They died.
Point #2: Your motives are transparent.
The World Trade Center is in the heart of New York City – one of the great financial capitals of the world. The Pentagon is in the heart of Washington -- the appropriation and accounting capital for the US federal budget and credit and the US Treasury – the largest issuer of securities in the world.
Unlike many other terrorist attacks, these attacks killed people whose family, friends and neighbors understand how these financial systems work.
Victim families, friends and the residents of the communities directly harmed can calculate who made money on 9-11 profiteering. They can trace the flow of money into the 2004 Presidential campaign coffers from the profits your supporters made as a result of 9-11 profiteering. They can calculate how 9-11 profiteering connects to the financing and silence of corporate media.
Those personally impacted and the global researchers they network with have the intellectual power and personal courage to ask and answer, "Cui Bono?" (Who Benefits?) They understand that your success as National Security Advisor is as a direct result of your failure to stop 9-11. They can see how your lies about 9-11 made money for the investment syndicate that put you in power and for the buyers of US Treasury securities who are so richly paid to finance the US military, intelligence and enforcement apparatus and the defense contractors and oil interests it serves.
All the campaign ads in the world can not now convince the American people that you have their best interests at heart.
Point #3: You are going down.
The richest and most powerful people in the world pay for performance. They pay you to make the US governmental apparatus look legitimate while they use it to centralize economic and political power. That means they need liars who are better at lying than you.
The myth that you had no idea that Americans deserved to be warned about the risks of flying or planes being used as weapons is now in the dust heap with the notion that the United States attacked Iraq and our soldiers are dying to protect us from Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
Your lies of 9-11 – like your lies about the Iraqi war – have been profitable for the military-banking complex you represent. These lies, however, have not misled the crowd. The American people and global citizens are looking for the truth. We demand the changes that will give meaning and honor to those who died on 9-11 and in the ensuing wars. We demand an end to further bloodshed. We demand a refund of all that you and your backers have stolen from those of us who remain alive.
Point #4: You are guilty of criminal gross negligence.
If you want to catch a terrorist today, you need look no further than your own mirror.
Many Americans gather this weekend to give thanks that Jesus died for our sins and gave us the covenant of grace. In the spirit of our Lord's crucifixion and resurrection, may God have mercy on your soul.
Sincerely Yours,
Catherine Austin Fitts

'Neocons: Greatest Threat America Has Ever Faced'
by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
Readers in numbers beyond my ability to reply individually have challenged me whether President Bush's inaugural speech is a statement of his intentions or merely a celebration of himself and American democracy.
Surely Bush doesn't believe America has the power to remake the world in its own image other than by being an example for others to follow?
The answer is that it doesn't matter whether Bush believes, or even understands, what he said.
The neoconservatives believe it, and they control the Bush administration.
On the heels of Bush's speech, neocon Robert Kagan used his column in the Washington Post to set Bush's inaugural speech in stone as U.S. foreign policy.
Kagan wrote: "The goal of American foreign policy is now to spread democracy, for its own sake, for reasons that transcend specific threats. In short, Bush has unmoored his foreign policy from the war on terrorism."
This is precisely the goal of the neocons. It is why the neocons orchestrated "intelligence" and propaganda in order to bring about the invasion of Iraq, a country whose secular ruler suppressed terrorism.
The neocons' writings clearly state their goal and long predate the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Their agenda is independent of "the war on terror."
Many of those who signed the neocon strategy documents hold presidential appointments in the Bush administration and are the administration's most powerful members.
If Bush were in control or had a brain, he would have shut Cheney up and fired all the neocons who produced the Iraqi disaster. Instead, despite the Iraqi mess, the Bush administration is publicly threatening to attack Iran, a country that has committed no terrorist or aggressive act toward the U.S.
The Pentagon has been ordered to prepare plans. Apparently, the U.S. has already inserted special forces into Iran to gather intelligence.
The neoconservatives are Jacobins. The neocons are the greatest threat America has ever faced, and they have the reins of power.
Americans need to wake up to this fact and stop indulging their macho "kick their Muslim butts" fantasies and their "end times" Rapture fantasies.
The Bush administration is not establishing any democracies. It is starting a war that will last a generation. That is the neocon plan.
They have put their intentions in writing just as Hitler did. It is no protection that their plan is detached from reality. Robespierre was detached from reality, and that did not stop him.
So were Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. People with power in their hands who are detached from reality are the most dangerous people of all.
The delusional quality of their rantings disarms people from taking them seriously: "Oh, they couldn't mean that." But they do.

Wake Up! Bush Is Serious

Bush Cheney Regime: The Illegal US Government
by WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Is this the beginning of the US "Civil" War II?)
A recent poll discovered that half of Americans know that the government intentionally lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
The actual figure is probably a lot higher since there is a large percentage of Americans still willing to let their neighbors' children die than ever admit they were wrong to support the war in the first place.
So, the majority of Americans know the government lied to create a war.
A majority of Americans now know there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that claims to the contrary were intentional lies.
A majority of Americans now know the US Government lied when it claimed Iraq's WMDs were a threat to the United States.
A majority of Americans now know the mainstream media lied when it claimed Iraq's WMDs were a threat to the United States.
A majority of Americans now know that the US Government has been torturing innocent Iraqis for information on WMDs the US Government already knew they could not possibly have.
majority of Americans now know their government can and does engage in the most monstrous lies possible, and that hundred of thousands of people have been killed, crippled, and tortured for that lie.
How much of a majority is irrelevant.
A majority is a majority is a majority.
Setting aside their access to inside information, the US Congress statistically should follow the public.
A majority of them also know the war was started with a lie.
It is perhaps understandable that the Congress has done nothing about these lies. They are, after all, complicit. One should not expect a gaggle of liars to impeach the liar in chief. Nor will the mainstream media be overly critical of those lies which they put into a hundred million homes.
But what I do not understand is how Americans, who pride themselves on their love of truth and justice, can continue to tolerate a government that they now know lied to start a war of conquest.
What I do not understand is how Americans, who pride themselves on their love of truth and justice, can continue to tolerate a government that shows every indication of preparing to lie again about weapons of mass destruction to justify a war of conquest in Iran.
Do any of you still delude yourselves into thinking that a government that lied to send your children off to die in wars is working for your benefit; is in any way shape or form thinking of your welfare versus their own?
Do you still think that this is YOUR government?
Is it not more accurate to say that you are the government's property, your children mere livestock to be harvested when old enough, handed a rifle, and sent off to die when useful?
The Constitution does not explicitly authorize the government to lie to the people, and the tenth amendment forbids the government to arrogate that right to itself.
Therefore, when the government lies, it acts illegally and unconstitutionally.
When the government lies, it ceases by that very lie to be the lawful government of this land.
When the government lies, it delegitimizes itself.
When a government lies, it lies for its own benefit, not yours.
When a government lies, it breaks faith with the people who empowered that government to provide for the common good, not for the privilege of a few.
If you accept that the US Government intentionally lied about weapons of mass destruction to take this nation to war in Iraq, then you must accept that the US Government, by the commission of that act, is no longer a legal government of the people, but an illegal occupation serving private interests.
The majority of Americans now know that the US Government is criminal. They know that the US Government has lied to start wars of conquest, and that it has knowingly tortured innocent people because the lie required it.
The majority of Americans now know that the US Government, unless stopped, will continue to do more of the same.
The Germans ended WW2 in shock at what their government had really been doing.
Americans cannot claim that innocence.
We DO know.
The information has been available for a long time, and if this new poll is accurate, the majority of Americans know what their government is doing, and the rest of the world knows that Americans know.
Get that? The whole world is watching to see what Americans will do now that most Americans know the government deliberately lied to start a war.
So, what will Americans do?
Will they walk their talk, and fire the liars?
Will they stand up like free human beings and refuse the dictates of an illegal government, or will they cower and send their children off to die, watching them walk up the chutes to the slaughterhouse without complaint, shrugging their shoulders that this is how life is supposed to be and there is no point in making a fuss about it?
Will Americans go on paying more money for government than they do for anything else, yet refusing to hold that government to the same standards of truth-in-selling that they demand from a used-car salesman?
Will they go on making do with less so that the government and its friends can have that much more?
Will they continue to bow down saying, "Take our money, take our neighbors' children, and tell us what to think, oh lord! We know you really are just and moral because you threw Martha and Chong in jail!"
Or will Americans decide enough is enough?
Will they decide that they cannot support a government that is criminal without being criminals themselves?
Will they finally realize that they cannot claim to be a moral people if they do not have moral government?
No magazine puff-piece, no comic book, no movie can make America look great if, when the time calls for it, Americans fail to be a great people.
Great people are willing to stand up to a government gone wrong, to force their government to be truthful and honest and moral. Great people know that freedom is impossible under a government that lies because lies are tools of enslavement, and that chains built of false beliefs hold slaves tighter than chains made of steel.
Slaves will cower before a government they know lies to them, bless the face that lies to them, and ask for more. And now the world watches to see if Americans are a great people, or just slaves living under the delusion they are a free people.
Free men or slaves. Time to choose. The whole world is watching.

Dead Spooks Don't Lie(And Don't Deal Drugs Either)
by CONSPIRACY PLANET
War criminal and notorious CIA klller/ drug trafficker Ted Shackley, known as 'The Blond Ghost, died on December 9, 2002.
The Ultimate Cold War Apparatchik, Ted Shackley was the notorious Director of 'Operation Phoenix' in Laos and Viet Nam, and thus responsible for a slaughter which claimed the lives of over 40,000 Vietnamese civilians under the guise of neutralizing communist sympathizers.
According to many credible reports, Shackley was involved in covert and illicit drug trafficking and weapons sales as late as the
notorious Iran-Contra scandal, in which a huge quantity of weapons fell into terrorist hands.
He took part in a scandalous affair in which Libyan terrorists under Muammar Quadaffi received weaponry and military training from the US.
Behind the scenes, he was one of the most influential members of the CIA from the 1960s through the 1980s, being the Deputy Director to CIA DIrector George Herbert Walker Bush.
Shackley was also the author of "The Third Option" (Dell Publishing), a guide for training indigenous homegrown terrorist groups in foreign lands, a failed and flawed policy which can be held responsible for the state of the world today.
An excellent analysis of Shackley's role in geo-politics and the rise of American Empire is included in the following excerpt from David Hoffman's "The Oklahoma City Bombing" --
Or consider the words of Lt. Col. Bo Gritz, former commander of the Special Forces in Latin America and the most decorated soldier in Vietnam. Gritz made a trip to the Golden Triangle in 1983 to search for American POWs, a mission that was ultimately stonewalled. Gritz believes the POWs are being used as drug mules, and the government doesn't want them returned alive, for fear they would expose the Octopus.
As Gritz said: "[They] would not want the American POWs to come home. Because when they do, there will be an investigation as to why they were abandoned. At that time we will uncover this secret organization and its illicit drug money and financing. The Secret Team would then be exposed."[1122]
As Gritz later wrote in Called to Serve:
If Richard Armitage was, as Khun Sa avowed, a major participant in parallel government drug trafficking, then it explained why our efforts to rescue POWs had been inexplicably foiled, time after time... If it was true, Richard Armitage would be the last man in the world who would desire to see prisoners of war come home alive.[1123]
As "Special Consultant to the Pentagon on the MIAs," in Bangkok in 1975, Armitage reportedly spent more time repatriating opium profits then recovering POWs. In 1976, when Khun Sa was still selling heroin to CIA officials, the head of the CIA was none other than George Bush.[1124]
Former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot, who was appointed presidential investigator for POW/MIA affairs, came upon the same information, and was warned by former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci to stop pursuing the connections to Armitage. As he sadly explained to a group of POW/MIA families in 1987: "I have been instructed to cease and desist."[1125]
Ironically, between 1987 and 1991, Vice-President Bush served as head of the South Florida Drug Task Force, and later as chair of the National Narcotics Interdiction System, both set up to "stem" the flow of drugs into the U.S. While Bush was drug czar, the volume of cocaine smuggled into the U.S. tripled.[1126]
Celerino "Cele" Castillo, the DEA's head agent in El Salvador and Guatemala from 1985 to 1991, told reporters and Senate investigators of numerous known drug traffickers who used hangers controlled by Oliver North and the CIA in El Salvador's Ilopango military airbase. When Castillo naively tried to warn Bush at a U.S. embassy party in Guatemala, Bush "just shook my hand, smiled and walked away…"[1127]
"By the end of 1988," added Castillo, "I realized how hopelessly tangled the DEA, the CIA, and every other U.S. entity in Central America had become with the criminals. The connections boggled my mind."[1128]
"The CIA — they're making deals with the Devil," adds Mike Levine. "Unfortunately, the Devil is smarter than they are."[1129]
Some of those devils, like Monzer al-Kassar — "business partner" of Richard Secord and Oliver North — would be utilized to do the Octopus's dirty work.
Another name Khun Sa mentioned repeatedly was Ted Shackley.[1130] A long-time CIA player, Theodore G. Shackley (known as "The Blond Ghost") began his Agency career as CIA Station Chief in Miami, where he directed the CIA's JM/WAVE Operation, a post-Bay of Pigs attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro and wreck havoc within that sovereign nation. Utilizing Cuban expatriates, the CIA conducted hundreds of sabotage raids against Cuba in direct violation of the U.S. Neutrality Act. Shackley also worked in close partnership with Mob figures John Roselli, Sam Giancana, and Santos Trafficante.[1131]
While the operation was shut down in 1965, due mainly to revelations of organized crime connections and drug smuggling, many of the participants remained in Miami, continuing their illegal activities.
Later, as Station Chief of Laos, Shackley directed Major General Richard Secord's air wing in tactical raids against the Communist Pathet Lao, who happened to be General Vang Pao's main competition in the opium trade. By keeping the Pathet Lao busy with the help of the CIA and the American military, Pao's Hmong tribesmen were able to become the region's largest heroin producers.[1132]
Of course, Shackley, his deputy Tom Clines (who supervised the air base in Long Tieng), and their colleagues in CIA front companies like Air America were only too happy to help, smuggling heroin to the U.S. in the gutted bodies of dead GIs (with the assistance of their old Mob buddy Santos Trafficante, who had helped form their ZR/RIFLE assassination team, and Vietnamese Air Force General Nguyen Cao Ky), and laundering the profits in the Nugan-Hand bank. As a 1983 Wall Street Journal article stated:
Investigations following Mr. Nugan's death and the failure of the bank revealed widespread dealings by Nugan-Hand with international heroin syndicates, and evidence of massive fraud against U.S. and foreign citizens. Many retired high-ranking Pentagon and CIA officials were executives of or consultants to Nugan-Hand.[1133][1134]*
Shackley, along with Nugan-Hand's attorney — former CIA Director William Colby — directed the infamous "Phoenix Program," a largely successful attempt to "neutralize" by torture and murder approximately 40,000 Vietnamese civilians suspected of being Viet Cong sympathizers. One Phoenix operative, testifying before Congress, stated that Phoenix was "a sterile, depersonalized murder program… it was completely indiscriminate." The assassinations would continue in Nicaragua under the code-name "Operation Pegasus."[1135][1136]
After becoming the head of the CIA's Western Hemisphere operations (Latin American Division) in 1972, Shackley supervised the overthrow of the Chilean government ("Operation Track II") by murdering democratically elected President Salvador Allende. With the backing of the CIA under Shackley, the military led a violent coup by Right-wing General Augusto Pinochet, which resulted in the abolishment of the Constitution, the closing of all newspapers save for two Right-wing dailies, the outlawing of trade unions, the suppression of all political parties, and the arrest, torture, and execution of thousands.[1137]
After a brief stint as Director of the Far East Division, Shackley directed CIA agent Edwin Wilson in training the Shah of Iran's notorious secret police, the Savak, who routinely tortured and murdered the Shah's opponents. Later Shackley would assist more directly in these efforts.[1138]
In 1975, Shackley became Associate Director in the Directorate of Operations, which put him in charge of Covert-Operations, Counter-Intelligence, and ironically, Counter-Narcotics, all under the command of George Herbert Walker Bush.
These associations naturally led to Shackley playing a role in the formation of the "Secret Team," (to coin a phrase invented by Col. L. Fletcher Prouty) the covert and illegal enterprise that was the driving force behind the Iran-Contra operation. Donald Gregg, one of Shackley's subordinates during his Saigon tenure, would later become Assistant National Security Advisor during Iran-Contra, reporting directly to Vice-President Bush.
It was against this backdrop that Shackley served as a "consultant" to players such as Bush, Secord, North, and Casey in their illegal and bloody guns-for-drugs network that resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the flooding of our streets with tons of drugs.
As Wall Street Journal reporter Jonathan Kwitny writes about Ted Shackley in his book, The Crimes of Patriots:
Looking at the list of disasters Shackley has presided over during his career, one might even conclude that on the day the CIA hired Shackley it might have done better hiring a KGB agent; a Soviet mole probably could not have done as much damage to the national security of the United States with all his wile as Shackley did with the most patriotic of intentions.
Between Shackley's Cuban and Indochinese campaigns, more dope dealers were probably put onto the payroll of the United States Government, and protected and encouraged in their activities, than if the government had simply gone out and hired the Mafia — which, in the case of the Cuban campaign, it did.
CIA Director Admiral Stansfield Turner forced Shackley to resign from the Agency in 1979, due to his "unauthorized" dealings with rogue agent Edwin Wilson, who was selling plastic explosives to Libya (with Shackley's approval). Had he not left, Shackley would likely have become head of the Agency.[1139]
George Bush, who headed the Agency in 1976, strongly desired to continue in that post. He was not reappointed when Jimmy Carter took office.[1140]*
Moreover, Turner, who had little faith in HUMNIT (Human Intelligence) sources, decided to reshape the CIA along more advanced technological lines. As a result of Turner's infamous "Halloween Massacre," the CIA cut its field agents from several thousand to just over 300. As President Jimmy Carter would later state, "We were aware that some of the unqualified and incompetent personnel whom he discharged were deeply resentful."[1141]
The old hands of the Agency, who formerly had at their disposal almost unlimited "Black Budget" funds for covert operations, were suddenly forced into retirement, or forced into lockstep with Turner's new guidelines.
Although CIA Director William Casey hired 2,000 new covert operators in 1980, many CIA critics felt Turner's actions had already caused the secret cells of the good-old-boy networks to bury themselves — and their illegal activities — even deeper.
It is this element, birthed in the hysteria of the Cold War, legitimized by the paranoia of the National Security state, and nurtured by the politics of greed, that has buried itself in the core of American politics.
As long-time Army Criminal Investigator Gene Wheaton defines it: "An elite, very clandestine, very covert group within the intelligence community…. The CIA and DIA is just the lightening rod for the people who really control things."
Those who could accept the idea of government foreknowledge of the Oklahoma City bombing would be hard-pressed to accept the notion that certain factions within the government might have orchestrated the bombing itself. Those who have a difficult time accepting this are stymied by what they perceive as "government."
As Wheaton explains, "The government is just a bunch of monuments, office buildings, computers, and desks. They don't see the crazies in the government — the little conspiratorial cliques within the government."[1142]
These little conspiratorial cliques — the same players that Shackley intersects with, going back to Cuba, Laos, Afghanistan and Nicaragua — have been involved for decades in everything from drug and gun-running, to assassinations, covert warfare, and outright terrorism. It is a terrorism that increasingly has no particular face, no ideological credo, no political goal. It is a terrorism motivated by power and greed.[1143]
By no means the lone man behind the curtain, Ted Shackley represents one of the more visible of this lexicon of covert operators upon whom the powers that be depend on for their endless supply of "black ops" and dirty tricks. Perhaps this is how Shackley knows, or seems to know, the complex truth behind Oklahoma City. It is a truth that remains hidden behind a sophisticated labyrinth of covert operatives, all of whom converge at similar times and places. They are, as David Corn writes, "the little faceless gray men we never see and seldom hear about." Those we call the "Shadow Government," the "Parallel Government," the "Enterprise," the "Octopus," or a half-a-dozen other names, are carefully hidden behind an endless roster of official titles and duties, and a plethora of familiar-sounding organizations and institutions.
These same faceless little gray men would pop up in the Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy like interminable weeds between the cracks of the pavement. From the Bay of Pigs to Iran-Contra to Oklahoma City, the names, faces, and players would coalesce for a brief moment in time into an indistinguishable menagerie of politicos and spooks, terrorists and assassins — to commit their terrible deed, then fade into the seamless world were little distinction is made between assets and criminals.[1144]
Ted Shackley was officially forced to resign from the CIA due to his dealings with friend and renegade agent Edwin Wilson. Wilson and former CIA employee Frank Terpil had smuggled two tons of C-4 to Libya, and at the behest of Shackley, had set up terrorist training camps there utilizing Green Berets led to believe they were working for the Agency. The ostensible purpose of this maneuver was to permit the CIA to gather information on Soviet and Libyan weapons and defense capabilities, and to learn the identities of foreign nationals being trained for guerrilla warfare. Upon obtaining their passports and travel plans, Shackley would alert their home country's secret police, who would then assassinate them upon their return.[1145]
While Wilson was sentenced to a long prison term, Terpil fled to Cuba, and has since been involved in numerous dealings with the PLO and other terrorists, supplying them with sophisticated assassination weapons, detonators, and communication systems.[1146]
Terpil also supplied torture devices to Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin, who used a bomb supplied by Terpil to assassinate Kenyan cabinet member Bruce McKenzie.[1147]*
One month later, Terpil was implicated in the murder of three executives of the IBEX corporation — a high-technology company that was doing business with the Savak. John Harper, IBEX's former director of security, said that while in Tripoli, he saw a mock-up of the ambush site at the training facility that Terpil and Wilson had set up.[1148]†
Readers will recall this is the same Frank Terpil that was seen by Cary Gagan in Mexico City with Omar (Sam Khalid?), six months before the Oklahoma City bombing. "I saw him down in Mexico," recalled Gagan, "in November of '94, in Mexico City… with Omar."
Gagan said he and Omar met Terpil at the Hotel Maria Isabelle in the Zona Rosa district. Gagan didn't know who Terpil was at the time, but described him as a fat, balding, 60ish fellow, who was "terribly dressed." In other words — Frank Terpil.
"I heard the name because I knew Wilson's name from the Florence Federal Penitentiary in Colorado." Gagan said that one of his intelligence contacts, a man named Daniel, told him about Terpil. "The conversation came up in reference to the Gander, Newfoundland crash," said Gagan.
Was Terpil in Mexico to supply explosives to Omar? While Gagan wasn't privy to the conversation, he believes that was the purpose of the meeting.
When Wilson and Terpil were selling arms and explosives to Libya, they were reporting to none other than Ted Shackley. Kwitny notes that Wilson and Terpil were hiring anti-Castro Cubans from Shackley's old JM/WAVE program [and Green Berets] to assassinate President Qaddafi's political opponents abroad:
Some U.S. Army men were literally lured away from the doorway of Fort Bragg, their North Carolina training post. The GIs were given every reason to believe that the operation summoning them was being carried out with the full backing of the CIA.…[1149]
Readers will also recall that while Timothy McVeigh was still in the Army, he wrote his sister a letter telling her that he had been picked for a Special Forces (Green Beret) Covert Tactical Unit (CTU) that was involved in illegal activities. These illegal activities included "protecting drug shipments, eliminating the [Octopus's drug] competition, and population control."
This is exactly what Shackley, Clines, and Secord did in Laos — assassinating and bombing Vang Pao's opium competition out of existence.
Could this CTU McVeigh claims he was recruited for be a latter-day version of Shackley's assassins? Former federal grand juror Hoppy Heidelberg said McVeigh's letter indicates that he turned them down, while former FBI SAC Ted Gundersen claims McVeigh actually worked for the group for a while, then became disenchanted.[1150]
If McVeigh had actually been recruited for such a group, the question arises of what cover-story he was given. As discussed, it is highly likely he was told that he was on an important mission — to infiltrate a terrorist organization and prevent a bombing. Considering McVeigh's background and character, it is unlikely he is a terrorist who set out to murder 169 innocent people.
Also recall that McVeigh was seen with Hussain al-Hussaini. The Iraqis would provide a convincing and plausible excuse if McVeigh was led to believe he was part of a sting operation: "Son, you were a hero in the Gulf War. Your country needs you now in the fight against terrorism." It is a story a young, impressionable man like McVeigh would fall for.
It is also possible that McVeigh was sheep-dipped as disgruntled ex-GI for infiltration into the neo-Nazi community, which would provide a doorway into the bombing conspiracy through places like Elohim City.
Or perhaps, as a result of his becoming "disenchanted" and "leaving" the CTU, he became targeted for "termination," and was set up as a fall-guy. Such is standard operating procedure for those who attempt to leave the world of covert operations.
Either way, the fact that there appeared to be two "Timothy McVeighs," just as there were two Oswalds, would suggest a sophisticated intelligence operation, one that was designed to put McVeigh in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Like Oswald, McVeigh probably believed himself to be a government agent, part of a secret project. Like Oswald, McVeigh was not told what the plan really involved, and was trapped, framed, and made a patsy.
This goes a long way towards explaining why an armed McVeigh didn't shoot and kill Officer Charles Hanger when he was stopped on the Interstate after the bombing. Why would a man who had just killed 169 men, women, and children balk at killing a cop (a member of the system that McVeigh allegedly hated) on a lonely stretch of highway? The only possible answer is that McVeigh believed he was part of a sting operation — a government asset — and would be protected.
Whatever McVeigh's actual purpose and intent, it is curious, to say the least, that Ted Shackley would tell D'Ferdinand Carone that the perpetrator of the bombing was somebody from here.
How did he know?
Roger Moore, the mysterious gun dealer whom the government claimed McVeigh and Nichols robbed to "finance" the bombing, ran a company next to Bahia Mar Marina in South Florida (a popular hang-out for the Iran-Contra crowd), which manufactured high-speed boats. The boats — sold through Intercontinental Industries of Costa Rica (an Ollie North "cut-out") — were used to mine Nicaragua's harbors in "Operation Cordova Harbor."[1151]
One source I spoke to said Moore had direct contact with Oliver North. "I don't know who his [Moore's] contact was on Iran-Contra beyond Don Aranow. I know he had access and would talk directly to Oliver North. He knew Felix Rodriquez pretty well, he knew Nester Sanchez, Manny Diaz, all those guys around Jeb [Bush] pretty well."
This source also claimed that Moore was a "paymaster" for Tom Posey's Civilian Military Assistance (CMA) — the covert paramilitary operation that served as the primary nexus for arming the Contras.
A retired CIA/DIA agent I spoke to in Arkansas, said "[Moore] was an Agency contractor."
Other sources say Moore was an informant for the FBI. He allegedly tried to sell heavy weapons to the Militia of Montana (MOM) as part of an FBI sting operation. A call to MOM indicated that Moore had indeed stopped by for a friendly chat. He told Randy Trochmann, one of MOM's leaders, that he was traveling the country meeting with militia groups in an attempt to verify black helicopter sightings and rumors of UN troop movements. This seems a peculiar pastime for a man who worked for a network of spooks devoted to bypassing and subverting the Constitution.[1152]*
What is also peculiar is a letter written by Moore to McVeigh in early 1995. Introduced at the trial of Terry Nichols, the letter, speaks of "a plan… to bring the country down and have a few more things happen."[1153]
Robert "Bud" McFarlane went on to form his own consulting firm, and joined the board of American Equity Investors (AEI), founded by Prescott Bush. AEI's board of directors reads like a Who's Who of the spook world, including former CIA officials George Clairmont and Howard Hebert, and CIA lawyer Mitch Rogovin, who was George Bush's legal counsel when he was Director of the Agency.[1154]
AEI invested in a Tulsa, Oklahoma company: Hawkins Oil and Gas, from 1988 to 1991. McFarlane was a "consultant" for Hawkins and several other companies on the Ech power project in Pakistan, which required frequent trips to that country.[1155] This was during the tail end of the largest covert operation the U.S. ever conducted — the arming of the Mujahadeen, who trained in Pakistan. McFarlane sat on the "208 Committee," who's job it was to procure weapons for the Mujahadeen, and arms contracts for the Pakistani government.
Recall that Richard Armitage, who was the contact for Fazoe Haq, governor of the Northwest Frontier Province, also sat on the "208 Committee." As Alfred A. McCoy writes in The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia:
It's known that the CIA paid the Afghan guerrillas, who were based in Pakistan, through BCCI.… That the Pakistan military were in fact banking their drug profits, moving their drug profits from the consuming country back to Pakistan though BCCI. In fact the boom in the Pakistan drug trade was financed by BCCI.…
BCCI also served as a conduit for the Iran-Contra operation, largely through Gaith Pharon, former head of Saudi Intelligence, who operated out of Islamabad, Pakistan. The Saudis played a major role in funding the Mujahadeen and [via the request of Secord and McFarlane] the Contras.
McFarlane — who former Mossad official Ari Ben Menashe claims is a Mossad asset — worked with the president of Hawkins' International Division, Mujeeb Rehman Cheema, on the Ech project. Was Hani Kamal's supposed statement that Khalid was connected to the Mossad accurate? A prominent Muslim community leader, Cheema claims he does not know Sam Khalid.[1156]
Interestingly, Gagan said that at one point, Terry Nichols rendezvoused with his Middle Eastern friends at the Islamic society of Nevada. Cheema is chairman of the Islamic Society of Tulsa. Is there a connection? And what of Cheema's links to McFarlane? Was McFarlane using Hawkins as a front for CIA activities in Pakistan?
It is perhaps prophetic that many of the terrorists implicated in the major bombings of the last decade attended the terrorist conference held in the Northwest Frontier Province town of Konli, Pakistan in July of 1996. As noted, Osama bin Ladin, a Saudi who funded the Mujahadeen and was implicated in the Riyadh and Dhahran bombings, (a close associate of Sheik Abdel Omar Rahman, implicated in the World Trade Center bombing), Ahmed Jibril (who bombed Pan Am 103), and senior representatives of Iranian and Pakistani intelligence, and Hamas, HizbAllah, and other groups attended the conference.[1157]
Stephen Jones claimed he had learned through the Saudi Arabian Intelligence Service that Iraq had hired seven Pakistani mercenaries — Mujahadeen veterans — to bomb targets in the U.S., one of which was the Alfred P. Murrah Building.[1158]
Just who were these "Pakistani mercenaries," and were they really working for Iraq?

CIA Gets Greenlight to Hire Terrorists - Again
by REUTERS
(Editor's note: This means Osama bin Laden gets back on the CIA payroll. It makes you wonder how much he's getting per month to be a global scapegoat?)
WASHINGTON -- The CIA has relaxed a policy on recruiting shady agents to allow on-the-spot hiring of people with information on terrorism, even if they are guilty of human rights violations, a U.S. official said Monday.
"The guidelines have been modified in a way to speed the flow of information which might be useful in the fight against terrorism," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The CIA has come under fire from lawmakers who saw the Sept. 11
attacks on New York and Washington as a huge intelligence failure as well as a sign that the agency needed more spies with ties to extremist groups or knowledge of their activities.
The United States has blamed Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network for the hijacked plane attacks that killed nearly 5,400 people.
A CIA policy established in 1995 required its officers to obtain management approval from headquarters before putting any human rights violators on the spy agency's payroll as agents.
Critics now say those guidelines hampered the CIA's ability to
recruit the kind of agents needed to infiltrate extremist networks like al-Qaida.
CIA officials have consistently asserted the rule was not a hindrance and the spy agency had never turned down a request to recruit an agent linked to a terrorist organization. But CIA policy has now changed to allow field officers to make decisions, without prior headquarters approval, to use "unsavory" individuals with insights into terrorist activities and threats, the U.S. official said.
CIA headquarters must be notified about the recruit within several days and the deputy director for operations who heads the clandestine service would then make a formal decision about whether to continue using the agent.
The 1995 rule stemmed from political criticism of the spy agency after the revelation that a Guatemalan military officer on the CIA's payroll was linked to the torture and killing of a leftist guerrilla married to American lawyer Jennifer Harbury.
However, in the aftermath of last month's attacks, the pendulum has swung from decades of attempting to limit the powers of a spy agency the public sometimes considered renegade, to calls for undoing any shackles that might impede the hunt for terrorists.

Frauds-R-Us: Bush, Cheney,Halliburton, Carlyle
by EVELYN PRINGLE
After Dick Cheney's tenure at the Pentagon ended, in
1993, he spent much of the next two years deciding
whether to run for President. He formed a
political-action committee, and crossed the country
making speeches and raising money, according to
Contact Sport (2/16/04 New Yorker).
Records from the FEC show that Cheney's PAC
contributors included executives of the companies that
have since won the largest contracts in Iraq. Among
them were Thomas Cruikshank, Halliburton's CEO at the
time; Stephen Bechtel, whose family's firm now has a
contract in Iraq worth as much as $2.8 billion; and
Duane Andrews, then senior VP of Science Applications
International Corporation, which has won seven
contracts in Iraq.
However, while Cheney and his pals may well be the
most blatant profiteers in Iraq, they are by no means
the only ones involved in this grand war profiteering
scheme commonly referred to as the "War on Terror."
The #1 spot on the list belongs to the First Family.
WAR IS FAMILY BUSINESS
Here's where the web of deceit really gets
complicated. There are so many ties between the Bush
family, the defense industry and the global arms
trade, that its almost impossible to keep track of
them all. But yet the wide-spread ties are hardly
ever even mentioned in the mainstream media. Or a
revelation might show up for a day or two and then its
like oh well, what's new.
Let's Start At The Top - The First President Bush
When Jr took office, Bush (Sr) was a member of the
Carlyle Group. The firm is almost entirely made up of
ex-government officials and it is said to be the
world's most politically connected private equity
firm.
The complaints about the Bush family connections with
the Carlyle Group began long before 9/11. As early as
March 3, 2001, shortly after Bush Jr’s inauguration,
Judicial Watch issued a press release that said:
"Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that
investigates and prosecutes government abuse and
corruption, called on former President George Herbert
Walker Bush to resign immediately from the Carlyle
Group, a private investment firm, while his son
President George W. Bush is in office. Today's New
York Times reported that the elder Bush is an
"ambassador" for the $12 billion private investment
firm and last year traveled to the Middle East on its
behalf. The former president also helped the firm in
South Korea.”
"The New York Times reported that as compensation, the
elder Bush is allowed to buy a stake in the Carlyle
Group's investments, which include ownership in at
least 164 companies throughout the world (thereby by
giving the current president an indirect benefit).
James Baker, the former Secretary of State who served
as President George W. Bush's point man in Florida's
election dispute, is a partner in the firm. The firm
also gave George W. Bush help in the early 1990's when
it placed him on one of its subsidiary's board of
directors.
"This is simply inappropriate. Former President Bush
should immediately resign from the Carlyle Group
because it is an obvious conflict of interest. Any
foreign government or foreign investor trying to curry
favor with the current Bush Administration is sure to
throw business to the Carlyle Group. And with the
former President Bush promoting the firm's investments
abroad, foreign nationals could understandably confuse
the Carlyle Group's interests with the interests of
the United States government," stated Larry Klayman,
Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel.
"Questions are now bound to be raised if the recent
Bush Administration change in policy towards Iraq has
the fingerprints of the Carlyle Group, which is trying
to gain investments from other Arab countries who
[sic] would presumably benefit from the new policy,"
stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton."
As a rule, I'm not a major fan of Judicial Watch;
however in this case their comments are almost
prophetic.
Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, it became known that
Bush Sr was financially linked to the bin Laden
family. The Sept 28, 2001 Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
reported that, "George H.W. Bush, the father of
President Bush, works for the bin Laden family
business in Saudi Arabia through the Carlyle Group, an
international consulting firm."
When Sr hooked up with the Carlyle Group, his special
area of influence was the Middle East, and especially
Saudi Arabia investors. One of the investors that he
brought to Carlyle was the BinLaden Group, a
construction company owned by the family of none other
than future US #1 enemy Osama bin Laden. According to
an investigation by the WSJ, Sr convinced Osama's
brother, Shafiq bin Laden, to invest $2 million of Bin
Laden Group money with Carlyle.
According to the WSJ, "The senior Bush had met with
the bin Laden family at least twice in the last three
years - 1998 and 2000 -- as a representative of
Carlyle, seeking to expand business dealings with one
of the wealthiest Saudi families, which some experts
argue, has never fully severed its ties with black
sheep Osama in spite of current reports in a
mainstream press that is afraid of offending the
current administration."
I'm no expert, but I even knew that 6 months prior to
9/11, Osama appeared in a video taken at his son's
wedding, along with his mother, his son and his son's
new wife. I guess they family must have got into a
tiff after the wedding.
The WSJ went on to outline the details of the family's
investment. The bin Laden firm invested $2 million in
Carlyle Partners II Fund, which raised a total of $1.3
billion overall. The fund purchased several aerospace
companies among 29 deals. "So far, the family has
received $1.3 million back in completed investments
and should ultimately realize a 40% annualized rate of
return," a Carlyle executive told the WSJ.
On Sept 27, the WSJ said it confirmed that a meeting
took place between Sr and the bin Laden family through
Sr's Chief of Staff Jean Becker, but only after the
WSJ showed Becker a personal thank you note that Bush
Sr sent to the bin Ladens after the meeting.
Here's a little know fact that may bring goose bumps
to some. On 9/11, Shafiq bin Laden was at a meeting
in the office of the Carlyle Group, and stood watching
on TV as the WTC was destroyed under the instruction
of his brother
So in a nutshell, Osama's attacks on the WTC and
Pentagon, which lead to a massive increase in defense
spending, most likely made the Bush family a great
deal of money. And the real kicker is that the attack
may have even enriched his own family.
HOW DOES CARLYLE MAKE ITS MONEY?
Its been estimated that Carlyle has investments in
over 300 companies, and the majority of them derive
revenues from military and security contracts. In
fact, Carlyle is the country’s 11th largest defense
contractor. In 2002, it received $677 million in
government contracts, and in 2003, it was awarded
contracts worth another $2.1 billion.
Business has definitely improved for the firm since Jr
took office. For example, one of its subsidiaries,
Vought Aircraft, now holds over $1 billion in defense
contracts. Prior to 2001, the company's future was
iffy at best. Right before 9/11, it had actually laid
off 20% of its workforce. But low and behold, business
picked right back up with the air strikes on
Afghanistan and the war in Iraq.
Carlyle's ties go directly into the Oval Office. In
fact, a list of past employees has Jr's name on it.
He was actually employed by Carlyle at on point in his
life. According to a story in Harper's Magazine, Jr
held a position as a corporate director on the board
of the Carlyle subsidiary, Caterair. Until he was
politely told to hit the road because he didn't have
anything to offer the company.
In addition, in March, 1995, while Jr was governor of
Texas governor and a senior Trustee of the University
of Texas, the University of Texas Endowment placed $10
million in investments with the Carlyle Group. Who
knows how much of that investment money benefited the
bin Ladens.
SIDE-KICK JAMES BAKER
Sr's top sidekick, James Baker, is also a player with
the Carlyle Group. He joined the firm immediately
after his stint as Sr's secretary of state ended,
bringing a briefcase packed full of global connections
to the firm. Carlyle's revenues tripled after Baker
came on board.
Much like Bush Sr, Baker's main duty was to manage
firm's relationships with Saudi clients. He not only
handled investment deals, it was also his job to look
after the key interests of Saudi investors. For
instance, when the Justice Department began an
investigation into the financial dealings of Saudi
Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, guess who the prince
turned to for help? You got it, Baker.
And get this, Baker is currently defending the prince
in a trillion dollar lawsuit brought by the families
of the victims of the 9/11. The suit accuses the
prince of using Islamic charities to funnel millions
of dollars to known terrorist groups linked to
al-Qaeda.
Carlyle is also cashing in on the Homeland Security
front and the enactment of the Patriot Act. Two
Carlyle companies, Federal Data Systems and US
Investigations Services, hold multi-billion dollar
contracts to provide background checks for airlines,
the Pentagon, the CIA and the Department of Homeland
Security. USIS used to be a federal agency, until it
was privatized in 1996 and snatched up by Carlyle.
Needless to say, it's now making money hand over fist.
BAKER & CARLYLE HARD AT IT
Baker and Carlyle have been hard at it behind the
scenes, profiting in ways so blatant that a secret
deal revealed by Nation Magazine (and since reported
in most major newspapers) gives a whole new meaning to
the term war profiteering.
As most people know, Bush Jr appointed Baker to be his
special envoy on Iraq's debt. His mission was to meet
with presidents and prime ministers around the world
and ask them to forgive Iraq's debt in the name of the
reparation needs of the country.
When Baker was appointed, questions about conflict of
interest were raised because of his ties to the
Carlyle Group, which has extensive business interests
in the Middle East. His law firm, Baker Botts, was
also brought up because both firms have strong links
to the Saudi Royal Family, which happens to hold a
great deal of Iraq's debt.
In fact, the New York Times published an editorial
upon the announcement of Baker being appointed special
envoy that called for Baker to resign from both
Carlyle because he was a partner, and Baker Botts.
In response to the editorial, Jr said he doesn't read
editorials, but assured the world that Baker was a man
of high integrity. Carlyle submitted a signed
statement that said: "Carlyle does not engage in
lobbying or consulting." and "Carlyle does not have
any investment in Iraqi public or private debt."
Well that was then and this now. According to
confidential documents obtained by the Nation,
including a 65 page proposal to the Kuwaiti
government, Carlyle has sought to secure a $1 billion
investment from Kuwait using Baker's influence as debt
envoy. The secret deal involved a plan to transfer
ownership of up to $57 billion in unpaid Iraqi debts
owed to Kuwait. The debts would be assigned to a
foundation created by a consortium in which the key
players are the Carlyle Group and the Albright Group,
headed by former secretary of state Madeline Albright,
along with several other well-connected firms.
So it boils down to this, the Carlyle Group was
engaged in lobbying to secure Iraq's debt at the same
time that Baker was asking the world to forgive those
debts. Under the deal, Kuwait would give the
consortium $2 billion up front to invest in a private
equity fund, with half of it going to Carlyle.
The Nation showed the documents to Jerome Levinson,
and international lawyer and expert on political and
corporate corruption at American University. He
called it "one of the greatest cons of all time. The
consortium is saying to the Kuwaiti government,
'Through us, you have the only chance to realize a
substantial part of the debt. Why? Because of who we
are and who we know.' It's influence peddling of the
crassest kind."
Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington
University and a leading expert on government ethics
and regulations, told The Nation, that this means
Baker is in a "classic conflict of interest. Baker is
on two sides of this transaction: He is supposed to
be representing the interests of the United States,
but he is also a senior counselor at Carlyle, and
Carlyle wants to get paid to help Kuwait recover its
debts from Iraq." She said, "Carlyle and the other
companies are exploiting Baker's current position to
try to land a deal with Kuwait that would undermine
the interests of the US government."
Just listen how they described The Carlyle Group, "a
private equity team, has earned its reputation by
successfully consummating deals at the intersection of
politics and finance, with its roster of political
stars, including, among others, former US Secretary of
Defense Frank Carlucci, former British Prime Minister
John Major, and until recently, former US President
George Bush."
I like that "stars." Is that kind of like Hollywood
stars except they are from Washington?
The document goes on to state: "The extent to which
these individuals can plan an instrumental rule in
fashioning strategies is now more limited ... due to
the recent appointment of Secretary Baker as the
President's envoy on international debt, and the need
to avoid an apparent conflict of interest." Yet it
goes on to say that this will soon change: "We
believe that with Secretary Baker's retirement from
his temporary position, that Carlyle and those leading
individuals associated with Carlyle will then once
again be free to play a more decisive role..."
according to The Nation.
I wonder if this means we're going to lose our special
envoy. Retirement?
The proposal goes on to tell Kuwait that in the near
future 40 state-owned Iraqi enterprises will be
available for leasing and management contracts. Is
that kind of like privatizing public utilities? 40 of
them, huh? You mean we are going to do all that for
Iraq? Does that mean that the Iraqis might have clean
water, and not have raw sewage in their streets
anytime soon? I suppose that would be a good thing.
Now where in the world did the Iraqis ever get the
idea that we wanted to take over their country? I've
never been able to figure out why they would ever
think that.
For those readers wondering about how much progress
Baker has made in the 10 months in his position as
special envoy, I'd have to say not much. The
negotiations apparently are kind of stalled.
Senator Joe Biden recently asked Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Iraq, about the status of the
international negotiations to get other countries to
forgive Iraq's debts. He asked, "Has a single nation
in the G8 ... formally said or requested of their
parliaments to forgive Iraqi debt?" "Not yet. No
sir," Schlicher answered.
According to The Nation, "Not only has Baker failed to
deliver any firm commitments for debt forgiveness; at
the annual meeting of the International Fund on
October 2, it emerged that France had done an end run
around Washington and was pushing a debt-relief deal
of its own. ... a plan to cancel only 50% of Iraq's
debts -- a far cry from the 90-95 % cancellation
Washington had been demanding. Yet Baker was nowhere
to be found."

Enron Scammer/US Army Sec ThomasWhite Lives Large
by JASON LEOPOLD
EDITOR'S NOTE: So remember boys and girls, when you live in Bush Crime Family Occupied America, Crime Pays...
Army Secretary Thomas White just put the finishing touches on a $4.6 million mansion in Naples, Florida, using funds some lawmakers have said White, the former vice chairman of Enron, obtained by selling his stock in the company using inside information.
But Democrats in both houses said this week they have given up on their investigation of whether White knew about or was involved in Enron's manipulation of California's electricity market or if he sold his stock in the company using information that was not available to the public.
"We just don't have the power to put Secretary White under anymore scrutiny," said a high-ranking aide to Congressman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat who has been White's most vocal critic. "It seems that Enron has become old news. We haven't turned up any evidence that we can use against Secretary White from our investigations.
It's over."
The aide said Waxman sent a letter to White on Aug. 6 questioning the Army Secretary about his sale of Enron stock but White never responded.
Waxman never pursued White for a response.
Senator Barbara Boxer, D-California, who called for White's resignation after he testified before a Senate committee investigating White's role at Enron, has turned her attention to other "pressing issues," an aide to Boxer said, refusing to elaborate.
White is the highest ranking Bush administration appointee who worked at Enron. He held 405,710 shares of Enron stock, more than any other member of the Bush administration did.
During the past three months, federal investigators probing the collapse of Enron Corporation have frozen the personal bank accounts of some of Enron's former executives, alleging the money--including bonuses and stock options--belongs to the company's shareholders because it was obtained through a series of fraudulent transactions.
Federal investigators are paying close attention to any former Enron executive spending large sums of cash.
Even Kenneth Lay, Enron's former chairman, and Jeffrey Skilling, Enron's former president, are laying low and are being cautious not to draw too much attention to themselves by going on any sort of spending spree, according to people close to Skilling and Lay.
But White, who sold his stock in Enron for more than $20 million is virtually immune to any of the criticism dogging other former executives of the one-time high-flying energy company.
White built the $4 million mansion on a $4.6 million piece of property in Old Naples, according to a report in Sunday's Naples Daily News.
White spent 10 years at Enron. He earned his entire fortune from his tenure at the company.
White received a certificate of occupancy from the city of Naples on Dec. 12. A certificate of occupancy is needed from a city building official before the owner is allowed to move into the mansion, the paper reported.
The two-story, 15,145-square-foot home at 2 Gulf Shore Blvd. S. attracted local attention earlier this year because White wanted to build a 6-foot, 9-inch wall, a 6-foot, 11-inch gate and gateposts that would be 10 feet, 1 inch tall, the Naples Daily News reported.
The city's code allows walls to be 3 feet tall and gates and gateposts 6 feet tall. Some Naples City Council members refused to give White permission to violate the code because they felt the property would look like a fortress, according to the Naples Daily News report
Architectural Land Design changed the numbers to a 3-foot, 11-inch wall with 18 inches of wrought iron on top, a 7-foot gate and gateposts that would be 7 feet, 6 inches tall, the Naples Daily News said.
White sold some of the Enron stock in October 2001 after he spoke by telephone to Enron executives when the company started showing signs of unraveling.
Some lawmakers have alleged that White received a tip about the company's accounting scandals and quickly sold his stock to avoid huge multimillion-dollar losses. But the allegations are still unproven.
White's telephone calls to former Enron executives, however, should be enough for federal investigators to probe White for possible insider trading violations.
The government is reportedly trying to build an insider trading case against Lay, who also sold his stock in Enron following conversations Lay had with other company executives prior to Enron's collapse, according to the New York Times.
White, meanwhile, is preparing to lead tens of thousands of our nation's soldiers into a war with Iraq.
That too should be investigated.

US War Crimes & Legal Case for Military Resistance
by PAUL ROCKWELL
May 10th is a national day of action for GI resisters.
A newly formed group, Courage-To-Resist, is organizing veterans, military families, and community activists in a campaign to support military objectors. Demonstrations to support sailor Pablo Paredes, who faces a court martial in San Diego May 11th, are in the making.
On December 6, 2004, Navy Petty Officer Pablo Paredes refused to board his Navy ship. In his press statements, he called attention to the intrinsic wrongs of war, the gross illegality of the invasion of Iraq, and the ongoing pattern of U.S. atrocities in Iraq. "I hope my resistance," said Pablo, "will inspire other GIs to refuse to take part in the wrongful occupation of Iraq."
Kevin Benderman is also facing a court martial at Fort Stewart, Georgia, May 11th. On January 5th, 2005, Benderman refused to deploy for a second tour of duty with his Third Infantry Army Division in Iraq. (Seventeen other soldiers from his unit went AWOL. Two tried to kill themselves).
Benderman witnessed atrocities and unforgettable brutality in Iraq. "U.S. military personnel," he said, "are increasingly killing non-combatants. On my last deployment in Iraq, elements of my unit were instructed by a Captain to fire on children throwing rocks at us."
Both Paredes and Benderman are conscientious objectors to war. So far the military has refused to acknowledge their acts of conscience. Both resisters face jail time and lost of pay and benefits.
The moral justification for refusing to participate in unjust wars is not difficult to grasp.
We tend to forget, however, that acts of conscience are also affirmations in the rule of law. Camilo Mejia, Stephen Funk, Jeff Paterson (Gulf War objector), Carl Webb, Abdulla Webster, Michael Hoffman, Jimmy Massey, David Blunt, Aidan Delgado, Diedra Cobb, Jeremy Hinzman, Brandon Hughey, and dozens of other war resisters are not only heroes of peace, they are vindicators of the Constitution, the U.N. Charter, Nuremberg Conventions and the Geneva Conventions as well.
American commanders promote a widespread misconception that, once American youth sign an enlistment contract, they are obligated to participate in any kind of war, whether it is based on fraud or truth, whether it is a preemptive invasion or a genuine war of self-defense. In a "voluntary military," Rumsfeld said at a recent press conference, soldiers have no right to complain.
That's preposterous. No soldier owes absolute allegiance to any military system. The prevailing doctrine of blind obedience is a fascist, not a democratic, doctrine of military service.
Of course all military systems require discipline, and all operate through a chain of command. But the legal authority of command depends on adherence to the rule of law. As sailor Pablo Paredes noted recently, the U.S. Military Code of Justice says that, while soldiers are obligated to obey all legal orders, the same soldiers have a right, even a duty, to disobey illegal orders. That is the essence of the legal case for military resistance.
Once unrestrained leaders, in their lust for power and world domination, place our military system beyond domestic and international law, the obligation of soldiers to serve the military in its state of lawlessness is dissolved.
Long ago Thomas Jefferson captured the spirit of legal resistance when he wrote: "Whensoever the general Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force."
A BROKEN COVENANT
It is the U.S. government, not war-resisters, that violate the covenant between soldier and the state.
The ways in which the government betrays its promise to our troops are manifold.
First there is no formal declaration of war from Congress, as required by the Constitution. That may seem like a small matter.
But James Madison made it clear: the legal power of military command depends on a declaration in accordance with all laws. Nor does Congress have any authority to efface the separation of powers, to transfer its solemn lawmaking obligation to the Executive branch. In the Constitution, war falls under lawmaking, not foreign policy.
In 1952 President Truman took over U.S. steel companies in order to fulfill the material needs of his undeclared war in Korea. The corporations lodged a protest, and the court quickly provided judicial review for the big corporations-the kind of review now denied American soldiers. The Court ruled that a president, whatever emergencies he declares himself, cannot take over industry or private property. Concurring, Justice Jackson wrote: "No penance would ever expiate the sin against free government of holding that a President can escape control of executive powers by law through assuming his military role. it is not a military prerogative, without support of law, to seize persons or property because they are important or even essential for military and naval establishments." (Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343, U.S.)
If the Constitution protects profits of corporations from the tyranny of Presidential war, the same Constitution protects American troops from presidential abuse of power.
The same law applies to both. Are the lives of American troops less sacred than corporate profits? The Fifth Amendment also applies to the war-resistance movement: "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
This amendment dates back to the centuries-old Magna Carta, written to stop arrogant kings from the misuse of soldiers in private wars of power and conquest. Where, then, is due process for American soldiers? Why is judicial review in wartime restricted to American corporations?
In 1866 the Supreme Court clarified the limits of military power: "The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers of the people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances.
No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism, but the government, within the Constitution, has all the powers granted to it which are necessary to preserve its existence." (Ex Parte Milligan. 4.Wall, 2)
U.S. troops have no military obligations beyond the Constitution. Moreover, all military power is subject to international treaties codified by the U.S. Senate.
The supremacy clause of the Constitution is clear and unequivocal: Article VI provides: "All treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State contrary notwithstanding." The treaty clause reflects a profound understanding of the opinions of mankind and makes the United States an equal member of the community of nations. Perhaps history can remind us of the profound significance of the treaty supremacy clause in the Constitution, especially its relevance to soldiers.
Article 4 of the Constitution of Germany's Weimar Republic was modeled on the U.S. Constitution. The Weimar Constitution provided that "the generally accepted rules of international law are to be considered as binding integral parts of the law of the German Reich." That law was designed to protect German citizens from the greed and egotism of their own leaders. It not only protected foreign countries, it protected German youth from being used in wars of aggression. We know the rest. The German judiciary caved in to fascism. It did not overthrow the Weimar Constitution. It simply ignored it, as one democratic law after another became "quaint" and obsolete.
PART 2
The Geneva Conventions are not the only humanitarian laws that are becoming quaint in the United States.
The Nuremberg Conventions and the U.N. Charter, among a host of treaties, are also laws of our land. They uphold the sovereignty of nations. They affirm the principle that human rights are measured by one yardstick. There are no privileged super-states.
The honor and legitimacy of military service depends on these laws in respect to war and peace. Under the U.N. Charter, except for rare Security Council resolutions, defensive necessity is the sole basis for legal war. Outside of genuine self-defense, war is aggression. It represents the supreme crime, a "crime against peace."
Nor is self-defense an elastic, discretionary concept. In a war of self-defense, there must be an armed attack, so demonstrably imminent that there is no alternative to force.
Outside defensive necessity, American troops have no obligation to serve in war. At least in theory, international law protects soldiers from being turned into agents of aggression, mere cannon fodder for greed and world domination.
It is one thing for Marines, or army reservists or sailors to risk life in defense of their country under attack. It is quite another to take innocent lives in other countries in order to placate corporate lust for power and profit.
MASSIVE WAR CRIMES SPAWN RESISTANCE
The enlistment contract, the very relationship between soldiers and military service, must be re-examined in the light of what the world has learned about monstrous and systematic war crimes in Iraq, sanctioned brutality that goes far beyond the scandals at Abu Ghraib.
The pattern of U.S. atrocities in Iraq provide not only motivation, but the legal basis for military resistance. When war crimes are systematic, especially when they are intrinsic to the imperial nature of invasion, resistance is justified.
The mounting evidence from Iraq-testimony about raided hospitals, "wanton destruction of towns and villages," U.S. cluster-bomb shrapnel buried in the flesh of children, babies deformed by depleted uranium, farms and markets destroyed by 500-pound bombs-establishes what many Americans do not want to face: that the highest leaders of our land are violating almost every international agreement relating to the rules of war.
The forcible transfer of populations from their homes and towns; collective reprisals against civilians in cities where resistance flourished; mass roundups and imprisonment of non-combatants; the destruction of crops; the placing of prisoners in the line of fire; the shooting of unarmed prisoners at demonstrations; the use of heinous weapons that are indiscriminate and cause unnecessary suffering; constant, predictable checkpoint killing of civilians; the use of economic sanctions leading to death and malnutrition; the destruction of hospitals and mosques; the killing of opposition journalists; the sacking of museums and cultural artifacts under the eye of the Occupying power; pillage (the selling-off of Iraqi property); the rewriting of domestic laws in the occupied territory; shooting disabled prisoners (army units are trained in "dead-checking", a war crime); torture, rendition (proxy torture); assassinations and summary executions-these are just some of the major crimes of planning and calculation.
The commonplace violations of the Geneva Conventions cannot be reduced to isolated acts of unrestrained individual soldiers. The great war crimes in Iraq are not crimes of passion; they are crimes of policy and calculation.
In the annals of collective terror and reprisal, the U.S. siege of Fallujah, a city leveled by U.S. air power, ranks with the fascist bombing of Guernica in Spain in 1937.
Prior to the onslaught against Fallujah, U.S. commanders drove nearly 200,000 Fallujans out of their own city, bereft of housing, food and water. Those who remained in their homes were trapped in a rain of death.
The siege began with an attack on the Fallujah general hospital. Injured patients were forced out of their beds. Doctors were prevented from treating, even reporting, casualties. Today Fallujah is a wasteland.
Robert Worth in the New York Times reports, in the aftermath of the bombing campaign: "Cars sit on the roofs of buildings. Lamp posts lie at odd angles. Fire has blackened the face of building after building." No type of building-mosques, homes, medical facilities-was exempt from aerial destruction. Five-hundred pound bombs are utterly indiscriminate in their effects. A 1,000-pound bomb obliterated the city's rail station, a transfer point for all Iraq. Another strike turned a small hospital into rubble. Mosques were assaulted. Entire neighborhoods were flattened. Fires raged throughout residential communities. American commanders openly declared that Fallujah needed to be "taught a lesson."
The people of Fallujah were murdered in their own homes, their own streets, their own hospitals and mosques-in their own homeland. They were not threatening any one else's soil.
Unlike their invaders, they never possessed nuclear weapons. Unlike the CIA, they never aided Osama Bin Laden. They possessed no air force, no satellite systems, no anti-aircraft weapons, not even bullet-proof vests. Fallujah had no modern means of self-defense against industrial war and foreign aerial bombardment.
If the ruin of Fallujah is not a war crime, power is all, there is no law, and the very concept of crime is meaningless.
The United States is not a fascist country. There are major differences between the current decay of American law and morals and the unprecedented, unique horrors of the Third Reich.
But the evidence from Iraq should give us pause: American leaders and commanders are carrying out policies-torture, mass collective reprisals, wanton destruction of cities-for which Nazi commanders were executed after due process at Nuremberg.
The Nuremberg Tribunal explicitly repudiated the very doctrine which President Bush champions today-preemptive war. The Nazi defendants at Nuremberg cited the concept of preventative war to justify the German invasion of Norway. The judges wisely rejected their defense. They ruled that a war of choice is a crime against peace.
How can American civilians provide genuine support for their troops?
It is impossible to support the troops while supporting the commander who betrayed the troops. Yet it is inappropriate for civilians, in their position of privilege, to tell soldiers how to behave.
We cannot tell our troops to disobey orders. Sailors and Marines, and Army reservists have to make their own decisions according to their own situation and conscience.
Soldiers deserve our empathy. They are trapped in atrocity-producing situations.
It's easy to lecture them about the laws of war, but if they refuse to carry out illegal policies, they face severe reprisals. And if they follow immoral and illegal orders, they are filled with shame, a burden which they may repress and carry for life.
When Marine Sgt. Massey refused to continue killing innocent civilians, his commanders ostracized him and treated him with contempt.
When Army Reservist Aidan Delgado, a witness to multiple war crimes at Abu Ghraib, spoke out, his own commanders took away his body armor, putting his life at risk.
The American military has reached a point where soldiers are imprisoned for telling the truth and upholding the law. Camilo Mejia refused to participate in the commission of war crimes. He spent nine months in jail.
No soldier should ever be forced to choose between his own self-preservation and his moral faith.
While we do not encourage soldiers to disobey orders, we must be thankful that our warriors of peace-Camilo, Pablo, Kevin, Jimmy, Michael, Jeremy and hundreds of others-are defending our Constitution, promoting human rights and the sacredness of life.
Understanding the legal case for resistance, we can join our soldiers of conscience on May 10th, a national day of resistance.

Coke,
I respect your tenacity and in-depth coverage of the whole situation.
It is also, however, apparent that in order to read each post that you send up, I require the time that the CIA would need to find me, pick up a sandwich and then bust my ass.
The REAL tragedy is that even if this were posted in 3 foot letters on the white house gate, nobody would do anything about it.
Poor countries have upheaval because they all want the same stuff that's in your livingroom. Rich countries don't because they don't want someone to come and take that stuff.
Poor people just want food; Contented people just want good seats at The Sizzler.
"Politics is the entertainment branch of Big Industry."
Know thine enemy,
Have a nice day!
Trashing the Constitution, Subverting the Intent
by EDWIN VIEIRA, JR., ESQ.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: "Trashing the Constitution: How misconstruction of the monetary powers and disabilities subverted the Founding Fathers’ intent" was presented by constitutional attorney Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., Esq., FAME Foundation Scholar to The Rotary Club of New York,March 25th, 2003 at the Princeton Club, New York.For more information on his new book, click here Pieces of Eight)
My topic is the monetary powers and disabilities of our Constitution; what the government may do, and what it may not do with respect to coinage, currency, credit, and banking.
Now these, to put it bluntly, are not common knowledge. They’re not common knowledge among lay people, and they’re not common knowledge among lawyers. Indeed, in my experience, very few people can talk intelligently about this subject.
You may ask, “So what? Isn’t this a matter that’s really best left to Congress, and the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve, and the Supreme Court, and so forth; the legal and political elite?”
Well, I could give you a number of very important reasons why that is not the case, why this is a vitally important subject to you.
I could talk about economic reasons, the fundamental one being that a free market functions most efficiently and most fairly when the market determines the quality and the quantity of money that’s being used.
I could talk about political reasons: that throughout history we have seen again and again the instability, the turbulence, in fact the self-destructive tendencies of political systems in which politicians and special-interest groups exercise the power to control or manipulate the purchasing power of money.
Today I could give you geostrategic reasons, because one could easily work out a theory whereby Islamic Fundamentalists, if they understood what they were doing, could strike at the Great Satan by attacking the fragile foundations of our monetary and banking system. I’m not going to tell you about that, because I don’t want to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
I shall touch only on the legal reasons why monetary powers and disabilities are of vital importance. I want to emphasize at the outset that this is not a matter of my opinion or my views.
This has nothing to do with personalities or subjective ideas. It’s a matter of what the Constitution provides. That is a matter of historical investigation and understanding from which objective results can be obtained.
I know it’s a little hard work, as Larry pointed out, to read Pieces of Eight. I had to be purer than Caesar’s wife. Everything has been documented.
The reason I did that was to show people that everything can be documented. There is nothing in the book that comes from my pen. It comes from the pen of the Founding Fathers. It comes from the pen of the Supreme Court. It comes from the pen of the people that keep the Congressional records. This is all a historical matter.
My reason for getting into this subject is that I’ve always viewed the legal perspective as being the most important aspect of the problem. Why? Because the legal framework in any society is going to have a controlling, a directive, at least an important influence on what happens economically.
A society that is based upon freedom of contract and private property is going to have a different set of economic outcomes than a society that is based on a Stalinesque model of central planning. The legal system has a tremendous effect on the economy.
I’d like to make a point here. The government of the United States has never violated anyone’s constitutional rights. Did you know that? The government of the United States will never violate anyone constitutional rights, because it cannot violate anyone’s constitutional rights.
The reason for that is: The government of the United States is that set of actions by public officials that are consistent with the Constitution. Outside of its constitutional powers, the government of the United States has no legitimacy. It has no authority; and, it really even has no existence. It is what lawyers call a legal fiction.
I give you the famous case Norton v. Shelby County, when they were thinking straight about these issues: 1886. The Court said: “An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” And that applies to any governmental action outside of the Constitution.
Our present constitutional system, with respect to money and banking, is oxymoronic, because in fact, for a very long time, with respect to coinage, currency, credit, and banking, the political class and the judicial class have not conformed to the Constitution. In the grand scheme of things, there are legal consequences that follow from not adhering to constitutional powers and disabilities, especially constitutional disabilities.
What is the genius of, the condition sine qua non, for a free society? It’s limited government, right? A totalitarian society is one in which the government claims all power; there is no freedom that the government doesn’t allow. There’s always a certain interstitial amount of freedom even in totalitarian society. Remember 1984, Winston Smith? There was a little place in his apartment where he could hide from the telescreen, right? And write his memoirs.
So interstitially, even a totalitarian society can’t control everything; but it states, in principle, its right to do so. What are the defining characteristics of a limited government? They are its disabilities; what it does not have legal authority to do. Look at the First Amendment. Everyone’s familiar with the First Amendment. What does it do? It guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion.
But how does it do that? I quote: “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press” et cetera. “Congress shall make no law;” that’s a statement of an absence of power. That’s a statement of a disability.
The problem we’ve had in the monetary system is there has been an increasing misuse of Congress’ monetary powers, and an increasing disregard of Congress’ monetary disabilities; and not only in this particular field, of course, in many other fields. But what’s happened in the area of money and banking exemplifies, and in many instances, is the source of what’s happened in other areas.
I can divide this degeneration essentially into two categories. One is the application of the so-called “theory of the Living Constitution.” The other is the overextension of Congressional powers, or the assertion of powers the Congress doesn’t have.
Many people may be familiar with the “Living Constitution.” This is the idea that the meaning of the Constitution has to change with the times. The Founding Fathers lived in the horse-and-buggy era. We live in the spaceship era.
Obviously, the Constitution has to somehow evolve intellectually to deal with those changes. In effect, this reduces the Constitution to whatever the politically powerful find it expedient to mean from time to time. You could call that “situation law.” I call it “Sante Fe law.” They railroad their ideas through, and they expect us to accept it on faith.
Let me give you an example, the key example in the monetary field. Basic question: “What is a dollar?” Interesting question: “What is a dollar?” That’s the unit of our currency. What is it? Well, if you ask most people, some of them would pull one out these things, a little Sacagawea coin. “This is a dollar.” Or more likely they would probably pull out one of these, a George Washington Federal Reserve Note, and say, “This is a dollar.”
And if you asked that person, “Well, why is this thing a dollar?” he or she would probably say, “Well, it’s because Congress says so,” or “the Treasury says so,” or “the Federal Reserve System says so,” or “the Supreme Court says so”—begging the question of whether Congress, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, or the Supreme Court has the authority to say so. Is this simply a matter of raw power?
Let’s have a quick reality check. I have some learning aids here. Here’s a card that says, “One cow.” Is this a cow? Next step: here’s a card that says, “By order of Congress: one cow.” Is this a cow? You’re getting the picture, aren’t you?
Here we go, the next step: “By order of the Federal Livestock Board: one cow.” And then the final absurdity: “By order of the Federal Livestock Board: one cow. This is legal tender for all debts public and private.” You don’t have to be a farmer to understand the meaning of this little demonstration.
Let’s take it to another level. “One dollar.” Is it a dollar? “By order of Congress: one dollar.” “By order of the Federal Reserve Board: one dollar.” “By order of the Federal Reserve Board: one dollar. This is legal tender for all debts public and private.”
Do you follow this? This is kindergarten material. As the Gershwins told us in Porgy and Bess, “it ain’t necessarily so” simply because someone writes it on a piece of paper.
Where do we look to find Congress’ powers and disabilities in this regard? Well, I guess you look in the Constitution.
The Constitution actually mentions the word “dollar” in Article One, Section Nine, Clause One, the famous slave tax provision, that provided a tax or duty might be imposed on the importation of slaves, not exceeding ten dollars for each person.
Do you think that was important at the time? It was one of the provisions that was put in as part of the compromise between the Southern slave-owning states and the Northern states. If something like that hadn’t been put in, the Constitution probably would never have been ratified by all the original colonies.
It’s also found in the Seventh Amendment, the word “dollars”: “In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.”
Do you think that was important to those people at that time? Trial by jury was known in that era as the palladium of British liberty, going back to Magna Carta. Do you think those people knew what the word “dollar” meant? Do you think they thought it meant this? [holding up a Federal Reserve Note] It must have had an accepted meaning at that time.
The proponents of the “Living Constitution” will say: “That time has passed, and now we have Congress, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, whatever, to make a new determination”—of course begging the question of whether the definition of the “dollar” can be changed. I want to give you what I think is a conclusive analogy on this point.
If you read the Constitution, you’ll find the word “year” used. For instance: “The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the United States.” “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the legislature, for six years.” If the meaning of “dollar” can be changed by Congress, why can’t the meaning of “year” be changed?
The principle is exactly the same. Yet we all know that if the Congress passed a statute, and the Supreme Court upheld it, saying that for constitutional purposes the word “year” will no longer mean three hundred and sixty-five days, but seven hundred and thirty days, or fourteen hundred and sixty days, or some arbitrary number, they would he howled down in hoots of ridicule. No one in this country would accept that.
In fact, even we the people, amending the Constitution as we can do under Article Five, could not change the true definition of the word “year.” We could change the term of the Representative to something other than two years, the Senator to something other than six years; but we could not amend the Constitution to say that a “year” is something other than what it is. We cannot fly in the face of astronomical reality. Well, if it’s obvious for the word “year,” why isn’t it just as obvious for the word “dollar”?
You all know what the word “year” means in its astronomical significance, and therefore you know what it means in its constitutional significance. And if you knew what the word “dollar” meant in its historical significance, you would know what it meant, or what it means, in its constitutional sense.
What did that word mean to the Founding Fathers? It certainly didn’t mean the Sacagawea dollar. It meant this: the Spanish milled dollar. [holding up a coin] And not just in the late 1700s.
The Spanish milled dollar was made the unit or standard for all foreign silver coins in the American colonies in 1704 by Queen Anne (there was a Parliamentary statute in 1707). It was made the standard for the United States by the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation, before the Constitution was even written. So in fact the dollar preceded the writing of the Constitution. It preceded the ratification of the Constitution. It preceded the first Congress, the first President, the first Supreme Court, the Federal Reserve Board, and everything else. Do you think it might be independent of all those things, having preceded them?
As a historical fact, the dollar is independent of the Constitution. The father of the dollar, in our system, was Thomas Jefferson. He was the one who proposed it to the Continental Congress. In the first government under the Constitution, Jefferson was Secretary of State, and Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury. They didn’t agree on very much, if anything, except this: They both agreed on the monetary system.
The Federalists and the Anti-federalists were in complete agreement. And what did Congress and the Treasury do in 1792 with the first coinage act? They went out to determine what the value of this “dollar” was.
How did they do that? They went to the marketplace. In what we would call statistical analysis, they collected a large sampling of Spanish milled dollars that were circulating, and they did a chemical analysis of them to determine on average how much silver they contained.
This appears in the Coinage Act of 1792 where they wrote: “The Dollar or Unit shall be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current,” that is, running in the market, “to wit, three hundred and seventy-one and one-quarter grains of silver.”
Now you know something that 99.999% of Americans do not know, and probably a higher percentage of lawyers.
The “dollar” is a silver coin containing three hundred and seventy-one and one-quarter grains of silver—and it cannot be changed by constitutional amendment, definitionally, any more than the term “year” can. And yet, as I mentioned before, if you ask the average person what a dollar is, he’ll probably hold this thing up. [holding up a Federal Reserve Note] Is there something wrong here? Do we see some kind of cognitive dissonance when we have a problem with this? I should hope so.
The second area in which the misuse of monetary powers and the disregard for monetary disabilities has corrupted the Constitution, as I said before, is the overextension of powers. I won’t go into these in great detail. If you look at the “Necessary and Proper” clause, which has been wildly expanded to give fantastic powers to Congress, what is the foundational case for that expansion? It’s usually cited to be McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819. What was that case about? It was about the Bank of the United States. It was a money case.
If we go to the doctrine of “Emergency Powers,” which is having a great uplift today, for obvious reasons, what was the foundational case that put that doctrine on the constitutional map? It was Knox vs. Lee, the legal tender cases brought after the Civil War. If we go to the doctrine of “Aggregate Powers,” the doctrine that says, “You can take a little here and a little there and kind of sum them all up, so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” again we go back to the Knox case, a monetary case.
What’s very interesting is to read a dissenting opinion by Justice Stephen Field, the only Justice on the Supreme Court who had the integrity to dissent in every legal tender case that he heard. He wrote a dissenting opinion in Dooley vs. Smith, in 1872. He wrote, “The arguments in favor of the constitutionality of legal tender paper currency tend directly to break down the barriers which separate a government of limited powers from a government resting in the unrestrained will of Congress. Those limitations must be preserved, or our government will inevitably drift from the system established by our Fathers into a vast, centralized, and consolidated government.”
You notice he was not talking specifically about the monetary powers. He wasn’t saying that these arguments would lead to the monetary powers being unrestrained. It was destroying the concept of limited government. “The arguments in favor of the constitutionality of legal tender paper currency tend directly to break down the barriers which separate a government of limited powers from a government resting in the unrestrained will of Congress.” How do you define, or how would you characterize, a government resting in the unrestrained will of Congress, or any other political body? It is by definition a totalitarian government.
The philosopher Richard Weaver, and I’m sure you’re familiar with this statement that he made, said, “Ideas have consequences.” He could have gone further than that. He could have said that bad ideas, once they are politicized, almost inevitably generate crises and catastrophes.
If we look throughout American history, we will see that failures of various unconstitutional currency and banking situations, and we’ve had different ones over different periods, have inevitably led to crises and catastrophes. Pre-Civil War, we had a series of cycle collapses (they called them panics in those days), which were brought about by the unstable system of state banks and, to a certain extent, by the national banks that Congress created, the two Banks of the United States.
If you go into the Civil War, you have the crisis of massive inflation that was caused by the emission of the greenbacks, and then the tremendous political controversy over the continuation or the termination of paper money inflationism. Then we come to the Federal Reserve System. Some people here may know of the arguments that were made in favor of the Federal Reserve System. It would have an elastic currency. Through scientific management of the monetary system, depressions would be eliminated. There would be stability in the banking system. What happened?
The Federal Reserve System was there when the greatest banking collapse in American history occurred, in 1932-1933, and in what was called the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In that period what happened? The Roosevelt New Deal. What were the powers they were screaming for? Emergency powers. You’ll find that written into many statutes, e.g., The Emergency Banking Act of 1933. You should pay attention to the title, The Emergency Banking Act of 1933, and the “Aggregate Powers” doctrine. It’s been all downhill since then.
I will not say, and I doubt that anyone could say, or defend the idea, that if the constitutional monetary system had been strictly enforced throughout American history there would have been no economic crises, because we all know that economic crises are not caused solely by bad monetary and banking arrangements.
But, as sure as I am standing here, I can say that if the Constitution had been observed during that period, there would have been none of the crises that did in fact occur. They would have been essentially impossible, bringing me back to the point I made earlier about the primacy of law.
How should that have been done? Well, Americans would have had to understand and enforce their Constitution. You notice I say Americans, not the Congress or the Supreme Court, because who is the final arbiter of this document? [holding a copy of the Constitution] It is not Congress, and it is not the Supreme Court. It is “we the people.” Read the thing. How does it start? “We the people do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States”; not “we the politicians,” not “we the judges.” Those people are the agents of the people. We the people are the principals.
The doctrine is very clear that, being the principals, we are the Constitution’s ultimate interpreters and enforcers. You don’t have to take my word for it. Let’s go back to the Founding Fathers, if I can find the right place. [referring to a book]
The Founding Fathers were profound students of law and political philosophy. Their mentor in that era was William Blackstone, who wrote Blackstone’s Commentaries, probably the most widely read legal treatise of its time, certainly here in the United States.
What did Blackstone write about this subject? He wrote, “Whenever a question arises between the society at large and any magistrate vested with powers originally delegated by that society, it must be decided by the voice of the society itself; there is not upon earth any other tribunal to resort to.”
We the people are the Constitution’s ultimate interpreters. But we all know that no people leads itself. Every people, for whatever reason, needs leadership. I look out on you people here today.
You are representatives, or a cross-section, if you will, of this country’s elite. I don’t say that to be flattering. I don’t say that to be patronizing. In fact, I’m a messenger who, in a sense, is bringing you some bad news, because the American people out there have to depend on people like you in here, and others like you, for leadership.
There’s a very simple reason for that. There’s no one else. Therefore, here’s the bad news: it ultimately is your responsibility to find out what your Constitution means with respect to monetary powers and disabilities, and then to do something about it, before history takes the opportunity out of your hands, and we all suffer the consequences.
Thank you
Introduction by
Dr. Lawrence Parks, Executive Director, FAME
Before I introduce Dr. Vieira, I want to spend less than two minutes positioning his topic. Our monetary system is an abomination. It violates almost all of the principles that civilized people hold dear:
· From the Biblical point of view, our monetary system violates the admonitions in Deuteronomy not to tamper with weights and measures, and, as clergymen pointed out after the Civil War, it violates the Eighth Commandment not to steal.
· Under Jewish Law, it violates the gnivas das commandment not to misrepresent.
· From a moral point of view, mindful that our money is legal tender, Salmon Chase, when he was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1869, wrote that the legal tender quality of money is only needed for the purposes of dishonesty.
· Economically, fiat monetary systems such as ours have been collapsing for nearly 1,200 years wiping out savings and promises of future payments, such as pensions and annuities. There have been no successes.
· From a scientific viewpoint, Isaac Newton put the kabaach on fiat money at the end of the 17th century when he declared that such money would have no defined unit of measure. That is, our money has nothing to tie it to reality. It is part of the spiritual world. Today, economists describe money as an “illusion.”
· In terms of personal relationships, our monetary system violates the sanctity of contracts, because one does not know what will be the value of future payments. That is, it violates the notion of keeping promises, which is the glue that holds civilization together.
· Now comes Dr. Edwin Vieira who teaches that our monetary system violates the Rule of Law, something that we all hold dear and that our politicians give lip service to. Particularly, he teaches that it violates the supreme law of our land: the Constitution.
There is no one better qualified to talk to us about this issue than Ed Vieira. A Harvard trained attorney with a doctorate in chemistry, also from Harvard, Ed is the world’s most foremost authority about the role of our Constitution as it relates to money.
He is also one of our country’s most eminent constitutional attorneys, having brought four cases that were accepted by the Supreme Court and having won three of them. Those of you who are practicing attorneys know what an extraordinary record this is.
Ed’s work came to my attention by accident in the early 1980s. I was at a dinner party sitting next to one Richard Solyom, who at that time was one of Ed’s legal clients. It was Dick Solyom who first gave me a copy of Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution, which was the outgrowth of a case that Ed had argued on Solyom’s behalf. That book was 300 pages and made a very tight case, I thought at the time.
During the last six years, Ed has rewritten Pieces of Eight. Now it is 1,700 pages with 6,000 citations. When he sent me an early bound draft, which was then just one volume, Ed asked me if I thought many people would read it. I told him that I didn’t think many people would lift it.
While reading such a large specialized book may seem like a daunting task, please know that Ed is a very talented writer. There are large sections that read like an adventure story. Pieces of Eight is beautifully written and impeccably researched. It is a true masterpiece.
To get a taste for Ed’s writings, I have brought a few complimentary copies of his essay “The Forgotten Role of the Constitution in Monetary Law,” which appeared in the Texas Review of Law & Politics. There are also several of his essays on the FAME.org website. We are most grateful that Ed has taken time from his busy schedule to travel up from Manassas to speak to us.
Will you please join me, and give a very warm Rotary Welcome to Dr. Edwin Vieira.

Bush Cheney 'Mental Health' For Kids: Take Drugs
by EVELYN PRINGLE
At an FDA hearing on the safety of psychotropic drugs on Feb 2, 2004, dozens of tortured parents testified that their children had committed suicide or other violent acts after being prescribed the same drugs being marketed in the Bush-backed pharmaceutical industry schemes aimed at recruiting the nation's 52 million school children as customers.
In July 2003, the Bush appointed New Freedoms Commission on Mental Health (NFC) recommended screening all children for mental illness and
designated TeenScreen as a model program to ensure that every student receives a mental health check-up before finishing high school.
The NFC also has a preferred drug program in place
modeled after the Texas Medication Algorithm Project
(TMAP), that lists what drugs are to be used on
children found to be mentally ill.
The list contains every drug that people complained
about at the FDA hearing, including Paxil, Zoloft,
Celexa, Wellbutron, Zyban, Remeron, Serzone, Effexor,
Buspar, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroqual, Geodone,
Depakote, Adderall, and Prozac.
There is little if any evidence that these drugs work
on children but nevertheless, an estimated 10 million
children in the US are now taking these mind-altering
drugs even though they have documented side-effects
including suicidal ideation, mania, psychosis, and
future drug dependence.
According to a May 2003 report in the New York Times,
national sales of anti-psychotics reached $6.4 billion
in 2002, making them the fourth highest-selling class
of drugs which proves the drug companies are already
making a killing by drugging our kids.
Experts Against Screening
Dr Jane Orient is an internist and executive director
of the Association of American Physicians and
Surgeons. She offered a few words to the wise in
United Press International's "Outside View" on
December 16, 2004.
In regard to TeenScreen, Orient says parents ought to
be asking some very serious questions before the
government experts interview the first child such as:
What are the credentials of the screeners? What are
the criteria for possible abnormality? What is the
scientific validation? Will you be allowed to get a
second opinion? Can you see the record and enter
corrections if indicated? Will the record at any
point be destroyed, or will the stigma of a diagnosis
such as "personality disorder" follow the child
throughout life?
What will happen if your child fails the screen? What
sort of treatment will be given? Who will supervise
it? What if you don't approve of it?
Do drug companies expect to have a large number of new
consumers of their psychoactive drugs? Who might
profit from the program (perhaps discoverable by
asking who lobbied for it)?
Bingo, right question Dr. Who stands to profit?
In 2003, Medico Health Solutions, reports that the use
of behavioral drugs for children topped all other
types of drugs at 17% of total spending. In the year
2003, the market research firm, IMS Health, calculated
worldwide sales of antidepressants at $19.5 billion,
up 10% from the year 2002.
Phyllis Schlafly, author of "No Child Left
Unmedicated," raises several valid questions. What
are the rights of youth and parents to refuse or opt
out of such screening? Will they face threats of
removal from school, if they refuse privacy-invading
interrogations or medications? How will a child remove
a stigmatizing label from his records?
Psychiatrist Peter Breggin, a court-qualified medical
expert, and author of books, Talking Back to Prozac
and The Anti-Depressant Fact Book, warns about the
life-long damage a label of mentally illness can
cause.
"There is nothing worse that you can do to a human
being in America today than give them a mental illness
kind of label and tell them they need drugs and these
children are 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 years-old being treated in
this manner," Breggin reports, "I then see them coming
to me as adults saying I'd like to be a doctor but how
can I when I have crossed wires in my head," he warns.
In a report, Allen Jones, former investigator Penn
Office of Inspector General Bureau of Special
Investigations, points out that there has been a 500%
increase in children being prescribed drugs during the
past 6 years.
Jones says the NFC call for mandatory screening of all
students, with follow-up treatment as required,
translates into putting more kids on mind-altering and
potentially lethal drugs.
"TeenScreen is purely and simply a marketing scam to
sell psychotropic drugs," according anti-child
drugging advocate, Ken Kramer, "When they use "even if
we save one life" as an argument to arouse emotions in
parents that truly care, they are lying," he warns.
Bush Promotes Dangerous Drugs
The truth is, with full support from Bush, the
pharmaceutical industry is using TeenScreen as a
vehicle to push dangerous drugs on children who in the
eyes of many experts are already being overmedicated.
Despite that the fact that SSRI antidepressants are
banned for use with children in the UK and despite the
FDA “black box” warning label now required on all
SSRIs that the drugs increase suicidal thinking and
behavior in kids, the NFC not only recommends that the
same drugs be prescribed to children, it promotes the
very schemes that will increase the number of kids on
these drugs in schools and other public institutions.
According to a report by the Florida Statewide
Advocacy Council, posted on Ken Kramer's website
records@psychsearch.net, an investigation in Florida
found that of 1,180 kids in foster care, 652 were on
one or more psychotropic drugs.
In Texas, Dr John Breeding, an Austin psychologist,
has seen cases where some foster children were placed
on as many as 17 drugs and says drugs are being used
as chemical restraints in Texas. He wants all SSRIs
and neuroleptic drugs banned from use on children “The
SSRIs are extremely harmful and addictive; and can
cause or exacerbate suicidal or homicidal tendencies;
withdrawal is painful and dangerous,” Breeding warns.
Dr Ann Blake Tracy is the Director of the
International Coalition for Drug Awareness, holds a
doctorate in biological psychology, and is a
specialist in the adverse reactions to SSRI
medications. Tracy claims the whole hypothesis of
SSRIs is "backwards." She says the drugs increase
serotonin while decreasing the metabolism of
serotonin, especially in the 7 to 10% of the
population that studies have shown don't have the
proper enzyme to metabolize SSRIs in the first place,
according to the Aug 22, 2004 Desert Morning News.
Dr Tracy can recite hundreds of horror stories
involving violence by people taking the same drugs
that TeenScreen is marketing to more children.
She told the Morning News about, “the professor on
Prozac who bit her mother to death; the Stanford
graduate on Paxil who stabbed herself in the kitchen
while her parents slept; the mother who bludgeoned her
son and then drank a can of Drano; and the 12-year-old
girl who strangled herself with a bungee cord she
attached to a plant hanger on the wall."
"Most of these drugs are not approved for children,
but it doesn't stop doctors from prescribing them,"
Tracy points out.
Turning People Into Psychotic Murderers
Besides causing suicide, enough evidence now exists to
prove that psychotropic drugs have played a major role
in the senseless acts of violence by school-age
children in this country in recent years.
Dr Breggin, is against the use of psychotropic drugs
in children, and has testified in civil and criminal
cases numerous times about the link between SSRIs and
suicide and other acts of violence.
On April 15, 2001, 16-year-old Cory Baadsgaard took a
rifle to his High School in Washington State and held
23 classmates and a teacher hostage. Cory sat in jail
for 14 months before finally being released based on
expert testimony by psychiatrists that his behavior
was an adverse reaction to the drugs he was
prescribed.
Cory has no memory of his actions at the school that
day. 21 days before the event, he had been taken off
Paxil and prescribed a high dose of the drug Effexor.
Cory's father Jay told Insight News, "They always talk
about how the kids who do these things are the ones
who get picked on by the jocks and stuff, but Cory was
a jock. He was on the varsity basketball team, played
football and golf, and was very popular in school.
Jay wants the media to warn people about the dangers
of putting kids on these drugs, "If Cory had been on
PCP the media would say 'Oh, he needs drug
rehabilitation,' but because these were prescribed
medications they say 'Oh, it can't be that,' but now
we know it can be," he said.
"The morning that Cory went to school and did what he
did, my wife and I just knew that it had to be
something with the drugs," Jay reports. One of Cory's
friends described the incident to Jay, "Cory was
yelling and then he just stopped, looked down and saw
the gun in his hand and woke up," he said.
Cory recently made an unlikely new friend in Colorado,
when he met Columbine High School shooting victim,
Mark Taylor, who is suing the manufacturer of the
antidepressant that Eric Harris was on when he opened
fire at Columbine.
Kelly Patricia OMeara interviewed Mark Taylor, and
recounted his description of the shooting incident in
a report for Insight on Sept 2, 2002.
Taylor told Kelly, "I was sitting on a hill outside
the school eating lunch with my best friend when Eric
Harris came over and started shooting me," Taylor
recalled, "I was shot between seven and 13 times. No
one really knows the exact number because there were
so many bullet tracks. Most of the bullets just went
right through me. After I was shot I just lay there,
playing dead, and could see others being shot," Taylor
recalled.
It has never been revealed if Dylan Klebold was on any
legal drugs at the time of the shootings, but an
autopsy revealed that Harris was on the psychotropic
drug Luvox, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
(SSRI).
Taylor's attitude toward the teen who nearly killed
him is surprising. He told O Meara, "I'm suing Solvay
because I believe that Eric Harris did what he did
because of this drug."
Taylor's suit claims the drug made Harris manic and
psychotic and as a consultant in the suit, Dr Tracy
agrees. "All you have to do is read the Luvox package
insert to see that Eric's actions were due to an
adverse reaction to this drug," she told Insight News,
"Show me a drug anywhere that has listed mania and
psychosis as frequent adverse reactions. That is what
the insert says for Luvox. There is no doubt in my
mind that Luvox caused Eric Harris to commit these
acts," she explained.
Gary Null & Associates of New York is filming a
documentary called “The Drugging of Our Children,”
that will feature interviews with both Cory Baadsgaard
and Mark Taylor, and will chronicle the long history
of tragic events that have resulted from the use of
these drugs on children.
A little known fact is that a few days before the
Columbine tragedy, Eric Harris had been rejected by
the Marine Corps specifically because he was taking
the drug Luvox.
In 2001, 18-year-old Jason Hoffman, shot five students
and teachers at a California High School, while on the
drugs Celexa and Effexor, and he too was rejected by
the Navy one day before he went on his rampage,
according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
In a letter to his mother, Hoffman said, "I want
people to know that what happened was not the real me,
I was just angry, maybe my medication. It was a fluke
of the moment. The person was not the true Jason
Hoffman," he wrote.
On Oct 29, 2001, Jason Hoffman killed himself by
hanging from a vent screen in his jail cell, the
Tribune reported.
Kip Kinkel was 15 on May 21, 1998, when he murdered
his parents, and then went to Thurston High School in
Springfield, OR where he shot and killed 2 students
and injured 22 more. Kinkel was on Ritalin and Prozac
at the time of the killings even though Prozac was not
approved for pediatric use.
Seven years after the senseless killings by Kinkel, on
December 18, 2003, Eli Lilly sent letters to British
healthcare providers, warning that Prozac was not
recommended for any use in children.
14 year-old Elizabeth Bush was on antidepressants when
she took a gun to school and wounded another student
in Williamsport, PA in 2001.
12-year-old Christopher Pittman was on Zoloft when he
shot his grandparents and set their house on fire, and
says his violence was caused by the drug he was.
Before Zoloft, he had been on Paxil.
According to court records, the doctor who prescribed
the drug to Christopher mentioned no problems in his
medical notes. A few days before the murders, the
doctor wrote: "Lots of energy. No plans to harm self.
Not flying off the handle."
Christopher now sits in prison.
His father, Joe Pittman, testified about the effects
of the drugs on his son at the FDA Hearing and read a
letter Christopher wrote that described how he felt
when he committed the murders, "Through the whole
thing, it was like watching your favorite TV show," he
wrote, "You know what is going to happen but you can't
do anything to stop it."
Dr Tracy explains how this happens. SSRIs suppress
"the REM state or dream state [of sleep] ... These
drugs allow a person to be awake but at any time they
can slip into the REM state. This is why people often
discuss how they couldn't tell the difference between
the dream and reality. These drugs are horribly
damaging to the entire system," she warns.
Even the people closest to Jeff Weise are at a loss to
say what led to the deadly killing spree by Weise in
Minnesota, where the 16-year-old shot his grandfather,
his companion, and then went to the high school and
shot 5 students, a teacher and a security guard before
killing himself. According to school employee, Gayle
Downwind, Weise was on Prozac at the time of the
shootings.
Dr Tracy has consulted on many cases where children
engaged in violent behavior including a 15-year-old
boy on Zoloft who shot and killed a woman and is
serving life in prison; a 17-year-old boy on Paxil for
three months who jumped off an overpass into the path
of a trailer truck; a 14-year-old girl prescribed
Paxil to deal with the suicide of her father (who was
on Paxil before killing himself) drank Drano in a
suicide attempt; and a 16-year-old boy on Paxil who
stabbed a woman over 60 times, drove his car into a
cement abutment in a failed suicide attempt, and is
now serving life in prison.
"In each of these cases," Tracy told Insight News,
"individuals close to them were shocked at the violent
and destructive behavior because it was so out of
character for them."
Courts Starting to Get It
Drug companies are finally starting to be held
responsible for violent behavior associated with these
drugs. A jury in Cheyenne, Wyoming recently determined
that Paxil, "can cause some individuals to commit
suicide and/or homicide." The jury decided Paxil
caused Donald Schell to shoot his wife, daughter and
granddaughter before killing himself after being on
the drug only two days.
The jury allocated 80% of the fault on Paxil drug
maker GlaxoSmithKline and awarded the surviving family
members $8 million in damages.
On June 18, 2003, GlaxSmithKline issued a warning to
British physicians against the use of Paxil in
children, acknowledging failure of clinical trials "to
demonstrate efficacy in major depressive disorders and
doubling the rate of reported adverse events -
including suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts -
compared to placebo."
In Bismarck, ND, 10 days after Ryan Ehlis began taking
Adderall, he shot and killed his 5-week-old baby and
then turned the gun on himself. He survived and was
tried for the murder but was acquitted after the Judge
agreed with psychiatrists who testified that the
murder resulted solely from a psychotic state caused
by the drug.
In February 2005, Canadian regulators ordered Adderall
off the market after the drug was linked to 20 sudden
deaths and a dozen strokes. Of the 20 deaths, 14 were
children.
There has been a lot written about the increase in
teen violence and school shootings but no one has
identified a common denominator in the lives of these
kids with one exception, the drugs. If we allow the
Bush-backed marketing schemes to succeed in recruiting
more kids as customers for these dangerous drugs,
according to Tracy, we had better prepare for more of
the same.
"We've got a nightmare on our hands with these drugs,
an absolute nightmare," she warns, "We've got kids on
these drugs that are ticking time bombs in every
school in America."
"When all of this is over and we count up the dead,
we're going to be in shock," she adds.

Stanley Hilton Sues Bush Cabal for 9-11 Conspiracy
by SURFINGTHEAPOCALYPSE.COM
(Photo: Pentagon's Paul Wolfowitz laughing at the people who believe the 9-11 Cover-Up Report)
Stanley Hilton, Bob Dole's former Chief of Staff, has launched a Federal law suit against top members of the Bush administration in a case alledging that Bush personally ordered 9/11 to take place. It was an operation that had been planned for over 35 years to gain political advantage and to push the Neo-Con agenda.
In an interview with Alex Jones, Hilton stated that he has filed a taxpayers Class Action Civil Lawsuit representing 400 members of the families of the many victims of the attacks as plaintiffs to claim that the Bush administration "violated the Constitutional Rights of the victims of 9/11".
The Suit will be launched under the Federal Fraudulant Claims Act, and under the RICO Statute for being a "corrupt entity".
Hilton claimed that the 19 hijackers were actually FBI/CIA double agents who had been originally brought into the U.S. to spy on Arab groups.
Another claim that Hilton made was that Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA.
Hilton has deposed many people and has gathered documentary evidence, as well as witnesses' sworn statements from FBI agents, FBI informants, officials in the Pentagon and in the U.S. Military, and U.S. Airforce. This evidence states that there were many drills and dress rehearsals for 9/11 before it actually took place.
He claims to have incriminating documents showing the Bush personally signed the orders for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
He stated that he has interviewed individuals of NORAD and the Airforce about the "5 Tripod Drills" that were taking place that morning, one of which, had as it's scenario, "planes crashing into the World Trade Center, and into the Pentagon"! [This was way better than a potentially incriminating Stand Down order.] He also stated that Dick Cheney was personally leading these Tripod drills from a situation control room the morning of 9/11.
Out of the members of the military that had been ordered to take part, most thought that the actual events of 9/11 were just part of these Tripod Drills when in fact they had been no drill at all but were very real.
Hilton allegedly has a National Security Council Document clearly indicating the "Go Ahead", "This in NO Drill" order. He also believes that the 19 hijackers were set up as a "Decoy Operation".
Alex Jones chimed in at this point to state that the Mainstream Media is all owned by the same military industrial complex that was behind the attacks.
Increasingly, witnesses have stated that they will come forward and testify but only under subpeona due to official gag orders which they are currently bound by.
Hilton believes that the "Patriot Act I, and II" were designed to prevent the kind of political dissent over the governments complicity in these events that the very lawsuit of Hilton represents. The term "Terrorist" is now being over-broadened as evidenced by, what happened to the protesters in New York City during the RNC.
The Neo-Con's plans are to continue to launch more "terrorist" attacks as needed in order to further their plans, and more than that, to put up a smoke-screen to hide all that's already coming to light about their complicity in these events.
Next will come "forced Psychological Assessments, and forced drugging."
Hilton stated that Bush and the Neo-Cons are a "Clear and Present Danger", to us all, through the Patriot Act and through the threats to those who would speak out which have already been made and which will be made in the future as more people come forward to testify.
Alex Jones then stated that, we must recognize this evil for the sake of all of our freedoms. If we don't make a stand, they will have their way with us. "Heaven help us", he said.

9/11 Commission: Making World Safe for Conspiracy
by URI DOWBENKO
The 9/11 conspiracy is safe with the conspirators, i.e. White-Collar State-Sanctioned Terrorists who destroyed the World Trade Center. With the publication of the 9/11 Commission Report, the Government 9/11 Conspiracy Theory ("ragheads drove a plane into the WTC") is now the official dogma of "history."
Like the notorious Warren Commission which covered up the murder of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, the 9/11 Charade Commission has done the inevitable and obfuscated the facts of the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, 2001.
Entire new industries have been created producing more government-sanctioned fraud revenues for crony capitalists and their mega-corporations involved in the "War on Terrorism" scam, the "Homeland Security" scam, and other black holes of endless government spending which must inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of America.
When will the government employeees who know 9/11 was an inside job speak up?
When will they stop cowering in fear of the loss of their precious government pensions -- small compensation for the hell of knowing the truth and staying quiet?
The 567-page doorstop of a report by the 9/11 Coverup Commission is a bitch slap to the American people -- lies compounded by more lies to cover up this most egregious crime against America.
It is time to review the questions proposed by former FHA Commissioner Catherine Austin Fitts -- Who benefits from 9/11?
It was certainly not Muslims, and certainly not Arabists.
Who's making money on the "War on Terrorism" and "Homeland Security" Scams?
To paraphrase the old joke "pass a law and make a business" -- 9/11 was "bomb New York and create a mega-business." Added bonus -- accelerate the agenda to turn America into a militarized police state.
*******************************
9/11: Cui Bono? by Catherine Austin Fitts
To understand events such as wars or any of the events on the nightly news, always ask the question "Cui bono?" which translates as "Who benefits?"
1. Cui bono? Who benefits?
2. Who financed the perpetrators?
3. Whose bank and wire transfer systems were used to move their money and precious metals or gems through?
4. Who trained them and supported them over time and now?
5. Who provides them with critical intelligence?
6. Who sold them their equipment and arms and did they take payment in cash or drugs?
7. Whose satellites, phone lines, and internet lines do they use?
8. Who failed to prevent wrongdoing, and do their careers and budgets go up or down?
9. Whose budget goes up?
10. Whose business prospers?
11. Who knew and said nothing?
12. Who else will make money?
13. Who will sell arms and supplies?
14. Who has insurance on what and does the declaration of war relieve the insurance companies of their responsibilities?
15.Who will acquire databases, new technology, oil rights, mineral rights, bank deposits, land, financial assets, telecommunications, media and consumer markets?
16. What groups and investors are crosscutting to the people who benefit?
17. Who will benefit from a distraction?
18. How do the people who benefit compare with those funding the political campaigns of those making decisions, or those who appoint those who do?
19. How do the people who benefit compare to those who are government are dependent on to finance their deficits?
20. Whose power will increase?
21. Who will pay for this in terms of taxes and government debt and loss of rights, property and life?
I find that if I watch what happens over a period of time and collect up the many possible answers to that question -- whether it is who makes money, who loses money, who gains in power and prestige, and who loses power and prestige, over time, I can learn a great deal about who's responsible and what their goals are.
Part of asking "cui bono" is to understand the power of distraction.
While the country invested a tremendous amount of interest in Monica Lewinsky and then a Presidential election, as much as $3 trillion went unaccounted for and/or missing from federal agencies without notice.
The IOUs for that missing money were expected to come due this fall along with various crises in the gold, derivatives, and stock markets.
One symptom was the quiet logjam on the defense budget until last week.
Anytime you are tempted to say "But so-and-so would never do that," or "But so-and-so would never exploit something like this in such a way," I would encourage you to reconsider and reach out for the hard data.
A review of the statistics on who makes how much money in arms trafficking, narcotics trafficking, warfare and other forms of organized crime indicate that governments, banks and legal and illegal corporations and their investors worldwide consider these to be excellent businesses.
History has shown that powerful but historically invisible wealth has a pattern of financing and ultimately manipulating all sides in a conflict.
We all may say these things are wrong, but we in America have traditionally benefited from the rich flow of the profits relative to other people.
Our inability in America over the last fifty years to move to local resources accountability and to increase our productivity in balance with our resource use is part of the drive for warfare, covert operations and organized crime worldwide.
We have traditionally voted in the marketplace or voted at the polls for the folks who generated the most money for us through these methods.
We should also ask why Americans or people who are not Americans might want to kill innocent Americans.
Sam Smith published the following yesterday:
RECOVERED HISTORY (May 1996)--
LESLEY STAHL, 60 MINUTES: "We have heard that a half million children have died [because of sanctions against Iraq]. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima and and you know, is the price worth it?"
U.N. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but we think the price is worth it."
Sam's reference was to 500,000 children dead. I would add the impact of money laundering on Russia.
In 1992, there were 14 million people living below poverty in the former Soviet Republics.
Today that number is 147 million and rising.
That is the result of global banks and investors, with the support of the US National Security Counsel, the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and their contractor in Russia, Harvard University, vacuum cleaning the Russian banking and financial system illegally. These are two examples. There are more. It may be a good time to collect up a list of how many people have died from genocide and warfare in the last decade and who is responsible.
To build a good map of current events, keep asking yourself as events unfold, "Cui bono?"
Ultimately, if enough people do this, the manipulations of those who are responsible will fail to achieve their intended purpose.
To exercise the responsibilities of citizens requires understanding how the money and operations works on any issue or set of issues, and how it relates to the general flow of resources.
Or, in the words of Bishop Owens, "If we can face it, God can fix it."
CUI BONO? FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
Part of the trick to asking and answering the question "cui bono?" is getting hard numerical data about how the money and operations work around any situations.
As an example, let's look at some of the data about one group who can be expected to benefit from the US declaring war--federal contractors.
A historically large percentage of this war will be designed, run and implemented by contractors.
This may be our first true corporate war.
Here are some websites and ranking lists for largest federal government contractors to help you familiarize yourself re how the money works on US contracting capacity.
Size is important. So is control of databases and knowledge, hence the importance of understanding the information technology (including accounting and financial transaction budgets).
So is influence on events that impact profits in the marketplace through regulation or change in control of land, assets, etc. such as in times of war.
That is why it is always interesting to look at the other companies owned by investors in large government contractors to see the ways that the investment network may profit from their role in helping to run the government and the policies that impact a wide group of affiliated companies.
Intelligence agency rankings are not included as the more than $30 billion intelligence agency budgets are generally not available to the public.
My best guess is that if the CIA, NSA and other intelligence agency contracting data were available, they would show the same thing that the defense data shows.
Our civilian agencies are essentially run by the military and intelligence contractors.

George W. Bush, Anti-Christ
by UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.COM
George W Bush is the AntiChrist
He snorted cocaine ...
He dodged the draft....
His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....
a failure at business until his wealthy friends rescued him...
then recently he was elected Governor of Texas...
he still couldn't think his way out of a burning phone booth without the advice of his staff...
and yet suddenly he's become our most celebrated presidential candidate, with the Republican nomination all but sewn up before a single ballot has been cast...
How has he done it?
I submit that George Walker Bush is the ANTI-CHRIST. And finally I have accumulated more-than-enough proof!
How do you explain the phenomenal political success of one of this country's least experienced and least intelligent politicians? There are only a few possible explanations:
George Bush is a tool of greedy rich people. (Mammon = Satan)
George Bush has sold his soul to Satan in return for political success.
America has devolved to monarchy, and needed another dimwitted King George to crown.
Our democracy was hijacked by corporate fascists, who hired another Hitler to conquer the world for them. George Bush is the Antichrist.
All Of The Above In view of all the facts, the last answer seems most plausible to me -- and perhaps after looking at the following evidence you too will agree:
The Evidence: Let's look at Exhibit 1:
The Number of the Beast
The Bible shows us a way to prove whether or not a person is the Antichrist, through numerology. Rev 13:18 says: "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." That is, the number 666.
The way biblical scholars and numerologists convert the names of men into numbers is through a numerical code. One method is assigning the 26 letters of the alphabet the numbers 1 through 26. It looks like this:
a 1 i 9 q 17 y 25 b 2 j 10 r 18 z 26 c 3 k 11 s 19 d 4 l 12 t 20 e 5 m 13 u 21 f 6 n 14 v 22 g 7 o 15 w 23 h 8 p 16 x 24
Now if you add up the numbers of his name, George Walker Bush, according to the table above you get 7+5+15+18+7+5 for George, +23+1+12+11+5+18 for Walker, and +2+21+19+8 for Bush, which all adds up to a total of 177 = 1+7+7 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. That's our first six..
The most common method used by numerologists today is the Pythagorean System, named for the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who invented it in the fifth century BC. It looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Now if you add up the numbers of his name using this system, according to the table above you get 7+5+6+9+7+5 for George, +5+1+3+2+5+9 for Walker, and +2+3+1+8 for Bush, which all adds up to a total of 78 = 7+8 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. Once again the number is six..
The next most commonly method in numerology is the Chaldean System, which has its roots in ancient Babylon and is related to the Hebrew Kabbala::
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A B C D E U O F I K G M H G Z P J R L T N W Q S X S
If you add up the numbers of his name using the Chaldean System you get 3+5+7+2+3+5 for George, +6+1+3+2+5+2 for Walker, and +2+6+3+5 for Bush, which adds up to a total of 60 = 6+0 = 6. Once again the number is still six..
That’s our third six – 666 – using the three most commonly used methods in numerology. The chances of this ever happening randomly are 1 in (9 x 9 x 9), or 1 in 729. But we are far from finished yet.
Revelation says the number of the beast (the Antichrist) is 666 – it does not say this is the number of his name, though that could be part of it - it just says that somehow we can identify the Antichrist by using this number – 666.
This number may indeed be connected to his name, but it cannot only be connected to his name or else it would have simply said so, and saved us the trouble of broadening our search. It indicates that we are to construct the number by compiling individual digits "Six hundred threescore and six", so let's use his name for the first 6, and go on to his date of birth.
Mr. Bush was born July 6, 1946. If you add up all the digits in his date of birth you get 7+6+1+9+4+6 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. There - now we have our second six.
The antichrist's first step in his goal of attaining complete world domination for Satan, was achieved on that fateful day Mr. bush was first elected governor of Texas - his first elected office - on November 8, 1994. Again, just by adding up the digits we get 1+1+8+1+9+9+4 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. The third six.
Then after losing the popular vote on November 7, 2000, the antichrist took his next giant leap towards ruling the earth when he was inaugurated president of the United States on January 20, 2001. 1+2+0+2+0+0+1 = 6. Another, fourth six to replace the one he had as Governor.
There you have it - 666 – again the number of the Beast. Wasn’t too difficult, was it? That’s because it was never meant to be. What are the chances that a world leader having a name/date of birth/date of acquiring power that is equal to 666?
As previously outlined, the chances of a world leader, or anyone else for that matter, having a name that is numerically equal to the number 6 in all three major numerological systems is 1 in 729. The chance of him having a date of birth that is numerically equal to the number 6 is 1 in 9.
The chance of any politician first acquiring political power on a date associated with the number 6 is again 1 in 9. And the chance of a president assuming leadership of the most powerful nation on earth on a day associated with the number 6 is once again 1 in 9.
By themselves, the chances of any one of these things happening in isolation is relatively insignificant. But the chance of all these things happening together for any particular world leader suddenly becomes very much significant: It becomes 1 chance in (729 x 9 x 9 x 9), or 1 chance in 531,441.
Since the Bible says that the Antichrist will be the most powerful leader in the world, and George bush is already the most powerful leader in the world today, that would mean we would have to see another 531,441 powerful world leaders come and go before we would have a good chance of seeing another most-powerful-world-leader that was as strongly associated with the number 666.
Even if all these powerful world leaders only lasted an average of 4 years and followed one right after another - as with a single presidential term - it would still take well over two million years before we'd have a fair chance of seeing another world leader as strongly associated with the number 666 as George = 6 Walker = 6 Bushjr = 6.
But there is still one more very remarkable piece of evidence: For hundreds of years various prophets and Biblical scholars have both prophesied and speculated about what would happen at the end of the second millennium – and in particularly the significance of the year 1999.
As you will see later on, Nostradamos predicted that 1999 would be the year that the final Antichrist would descend and bring about the sort of death and destruction that has never been seen before. What is so important about the year 1999 is that it is actually an upside-down 666, signifying how the Antichrist would turn the world upside down.
Bush declared his candidacy for president on June 12, 1999. By turning the day into a product of simple addition, we easily come up with the date 6/(6+6)/1999. That's a right-side up 666 next to an upside down 666, separated by a 1 that is holding the place for 1,000 years.
This 1,000 years is the millennium of peace, which will come after Christ defeats the Antichrist (the right side up 666) and rules the world for 1,000 years in the name of the one true God. After the 1,000 year millennium, according to the Bible Satan will once again be released from hell (the upside down 666 = coming up from hell) but he is quickly defeated and thrown into the lake of fire forever (Revelation 20:7-10).
So what are the chances? Obviously, the chances of any other world leader introducing himself to the world on 6/6+6/1999 are nil - it simply didn’t happen.
Bush is the only one who did and so he is the only world leader in history who is so intimately connected to what must be the most inauspicious day in world history.
The upshot is that on this particular date you have an abbreviation of the entire book of Revelation – the rise of the Antichrist, his defeat and the ensuing 1,000 year millennium, and then the final battle against Satan after he is briefly released from hell.
Bush said on this day "there is no turning back", and indeed there was at that point no turning back for the world after that day either. He already had the Republican nomination sewed up, and as he demonstrated in Florida he intended to do whatever he had to do in order to gain power. The rich and powerful were backing him – the entire kingdom of Satan was behind him – how could he not succeed?
The fact that the world didn’t, and still doesn’t understand the true significance of bush's intimate connection to the number 666 is certainly not because the Bible hasn’t warned us about it, and numerous prophets and Biblical scholars all warned us, and it is not because it was too difficult to figure out - what I did it would take anybody else about fifteen minutes to do.
Nor is it because Mr. Bush failed to announced his intentions on the most inauspicious day in history. It’s only because there are none so blind as those too caught up in their own sins. There will be no excuses for those who failed to solve the 666 prophecy, because it was their insatiable greed and lust for power that allied them to the the Antichrist, gave him power, and made them blind to the truth.
Exhibit 2: the Bush/Nero Connection
Who is the Real Anti-Christ?
Over the last 2,000 years many have claimed to know. All of them have seemingly been wrong. So what makes me any different? Facts!
The term "antichrist' was first used in the most recent books of the Bible, ( 1 John 2:18) " many antichrists have made their appearance." For the early Christians, all those working against the spirit of Jesus Christ were considered antichrists. As Jesus said (Mat 12:30) "He that is not with me is against me."
At the same time, the early church believed that there would be one individual, a single man whose evil deeds would far exceed all the others; and that this individual would make his appearance just before the second coming of Jesus.
Jesus called him ( Mark 13:14) "the abomination of desolation" Paul referred to him as the ( 2 thess 2:3) "man of sin" and "son of perdition". John in his letter and in his Revelation to the church called him "the beast" or "antichrist."
All reputable scholars today believe that the antichrist in the book of Revelation was Nero, emperor of Rome from 54 - 68 AD. Nero persecuted the church with a vengeance, blaming Christians for the burning of Rome, and torturing them to death in the Forum. They became the first Christian martyrs.
After Nero was forced to commit suicide, it was widely believed that Nero was still alive in Parthia (the middle east), hiding out (much like Elvis), and that he would return to reclaim his throne.
As late as the fifth century AD, Lactantius (240-320 A.D.), Jerome (340-420 A.D.) and St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) all still believed that the Antichrist would turn out to be a resuscitated Nero. That is what is meant when ( Revelation 13:12) says "the beast, whose fatal (and suicidal) wound has been healed."
Were they wrong? Certainly Nero the man never returned from the dead, and the church eventually looked elsewhere for the antichrist - but that doesn't invalidate the prophecy. Nero has indeed returned, but not as Nero the Roman emporer, he's returned in spirit as George W Bush, the 43rd (P)resident of the United States.. Nero was only a foreshadowing of the last antichrist. This final and most powerful antichrist in history is prepared to finish the evil campaign that first began with Nero almost 2,000 years ago.
It was impossible that Nero the man would be healed and raised from the dead, because only God can heal and give life. As Jesus pointed out (Mat 24:26) "If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?"
When John says in Revelation that the antichrist's fatal wound is miraculously healed by the beast, it is his way of assuring his readers that when the final antichrist does appear, the entire Kingdom of Satan will quickly fall.
But it can only happen by the authority of God, and not because the devil has the miraculous power of healing dead emperors. As Paul writes in ( 2Thes 2:1) " You must be aware of the restraining hand which ensures that he shall be revealed only at the proper time." Revelation says the whole world will be astonished at this resurrected antichrist.
But not because he has the power to heal, which is contrary to his nature (even our economy is going to pot - like everything else bush has ever touched), but because the destructive power and all the weapons at his disposal will be truly astonishing compared to the sort of weapons and power Nero once held. "Who can make war against him?" ( Revelation 13:4) asks .... and indeed who can make war against the United States of America today? Never before has one man had so much power, and over the entire world.
The only real question is: Is bush the final antichrist, the beast who will usher in the Apocalypse, or only one of the intermediary antichrists, in the same league as Hitler or Stalin?
The full weight of evidence I've outlined here points strongly to the former proposition.
The life and career of George W Bush parallels that of Nero in many ways. He looks a lot like Nero. They were both born into wealthy and politically powerful families . They have both led a very dissolute (#1 - lust, one of the seven deadly sins) and drunken life (#2 - gluttony, excessive consumption).
Both avoided military service. Both are extremely lazy, spending most of their time vacationing outside Rome/Washington DC (#3 - sloth). They both have bad tempers ( #4 - anger) and exhibit great cruelty, having many people executed. They are both arrogant and dictatorial (#5 - pride).
Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Bush took the longest vacation in presidential history just before the 9-11 attack, and when he found out the World Trade Center was burning he fled to Nebraska to hide. They both portray themselves as "compassionate conservatives" - pretending to care for the poor in order to gain political favor, at the same time bankrupting the national treasury on behalf of themselves and their rich friends (#6 -greed).
Nero liked to pretend he was a great artist, bush pretends he's a Texas country boy. They both came to power illegitimately, when their mother/brother helped them cheat the legitimate heir - Brittanicus /winner of the election - Gore, of their rightful office (#7 - envy, the last of the seven deadly sins).
Most importantly, they both have the number of the beast. The number of Nero's name in both Greek and Hebrew is 666. St. John gave us this number (666) rather than a name (Nero) so that we could identify his name today (George Bush). Because as I have already demonstrated in exhibit #1, Bush, like Nero, definitely has the mark of the beast.
The Beast and His Prophet: One of the mysteries of Revelation has been the identity and connection of a second beast who rescues the antichrist and serves as his false prophet. Rev 13:12 "He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast."
Karl Rove rescued Bush from political death after his defeat in a Congressional race, and since 1993 he has served as the brains and the cleverness of the antichrist. No mere presidential advisor has ever held so much power. He is often referred to as 'President Rove', and even other people within the Bush Regime worry about his growing influence and power.
Every decision Bush makes is calculated and spun by Rove for political effect, and with no regard for the truth. A true prophet divines the will of God in order to help lead a nation in the path of righteousness. But a false prophet like Rove can predict the moods and weaknesses of the people in order to manipulate public opinion to his own evil ends.
Now listen to what the most renowned prophet of the Christian era has to say in exhibit 3:
New Exhibit! Nostradamus
Michel Nostradamus (1503-1566) a French physician and astrologer who wrote over 900 predictions concerning the fate of the world. Written in four-lined rhyming quatrains, they were to be become famous for their astonishing accuracy. Note: A quatrain circulating around and attributed to Nostradamus: "The village idiot" etc. is a hoax, and it was not written by Nostradamus.
That being said, the devil does hide the truth behind a lie, and the Antichrist's most important identifying trait is his ability to deceive. What better deception than to play the idiot? Hitler was ridiculed and compared to Charlie Chaplain, but the world soon discovered he was anything but a joke.
Bush openly remarks that his greatest advantage lies in the fact that people tend to underestimate him, and indeed the devil's most powerful weapon lies in the fact that we often underestimate his great cunning. Understand, I'm not denying that Bush as a man is basically a complete idiot - however the principalities and powers commanding and guiding his actions are not stupid. .
Nostradamus outlined three distinctly different and progressively worse Antichrist figures, the last one being the bloodiest of all. The first two Antichrists have already come and gone: Napoleon and Hitler. So we are really only waiting for the final Antichrist.
Using this information as background, we can now focus on details concerning the final Antichrist, according to the prophesies of Nostradamus:
century 6 quatrain 13
A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign
The greatest part will uphold him
A capital will not consent that he should reign
His great chair he shall not be able to maintain. This one is pretty straightforward, and it concerns the man who tried to stop the AntiChrist's rise to power: "A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign" = Everyone doubted Gore had a chance, but he ended up nearly capturing the presidency. "The greatest part will uphold him." = He won the popular vote. "A capitol will not consent he should reign" = The right-wing US Supreme Court in Washington stopped the counting of votes in Florida to ensure Gore's defeat. "His great chair he shall not be able to maintain." = He's now also lost the office of Vice President. century 2 quatrain 62
Ma-bus then will soon die, there will come A horrible slaughter of people and animals: At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands, Blood, thirst and hunger when the comet will run.
This gives us a clue to the last Antichrist's name, the sign of his coming, and the slaughter he will initiate before he is finally removed. His rise to power is associated with a comet, and in fact it was during the spectacular show of the recent Hale-Bop comet that bush's own political star rose like a comet - he assumed his first elected office in '95 when Hale-Bop was first sighted, and by the time the comet reached its brightest stage in '97, he was already being talked about as the next president. "will soon die" means after the comet dies and the antichrist assumes power (the presidency), "will come a horrible slaughter " referring to the coming apocalypse in the middle east. "vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands" refers to the western alliance formed to take revenge for the bombings of the WTC and the Pentagon.
"Ma-bus" becomes AMerican-BUSh by inverting the first two letters and leaving out the last H. Perhaps also referring to the fact that the Bushes have long been part of the Massachusetts aristocracy = MAssachusetts- BUSh. Though Bush Jr. likes to play up his Texas connection, Bush Sr, was born while dad was attending Yale, and Bush Jr. went on to attend both Yale and Harvard. (Note: Nostradamus also misspelled Hitler's name, calling him "Hister")
century 2 quatrain 30
One who the infernal gods of Hannibal Will cause to be reborn, terror of all mankind Never more horror nor the newspapers tell of worse in the past, Than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq). The AntiChrist, aka Ma-bus aka 'MAssachusetts BUSh', is strongly associated with a reincarnated Hannibal. Hannibal was the black general who invaded Italy with his elephants to conquer Rome, but he failed to deliver the final crushing blow.
Sound familiar? Colin Powel is a black general who marches with the elephants (Republicans), and he's also bush's top general and right-hand man. Like Hannibal, Powel successfully invaded a country (Iraq), but he failed to remove Saddam. This Quatrain also tells us that Hannibal aka Colin Powel will eventually return to the midddle east and screw-up again in Iraq - this time triggering such a bloodbath that the world has never seen before.
century 8 quatrain 70
He will enter, wicked, unpleasant, infamous, tyrannizing over Mesopotamia (Iraq). All friends made by the adulterous lady: the land dreaded and evil in aspect. This indicates the antichrist (bush), not desiring peace, will bully and 'tyrannize' Iraq. The 'adulterous lady' is the statue of liberty, lady liberty, symbol of America, a country that has forsaken God to follow after the Antichrist, in order to satisfy their insatiable greed and thirst for power (and oil). America's 'friends' are any allies bullied into aiding American aggression in Iraq.
Century 10 quatrain 66
The chief of London by the American reign, The isle will divide thee from Scotland by frost; They will have again as King one who is so false an Antichrist, That he will put them altogether in a conflict; The 'chief of London' is Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Britain, and it indicates that America is telling him what to do. 'Divide thee from Scotland by frost' dates this prophecy by indicating how Scotland recently voted for home rule and convened their first Parliament since 1707. 'Have again as king...' indicates how bush, the American Antichrist, is making British foreign policy like a king - and the fact that his family is descended from British royalty. 'Put them altogether in a conflict.' says he will drag both Britain and America into war in the Middle East. century 10 quatrain 72
The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
In June of 1999, bush formally declared his candidacy for president, and by a July he was already calling himself the president. It is important to understand it was not just a mistake.
The AntiChrist receives his authority from Satan - not from God, and not from men. By "mistakenly" calling himself president before any election had been held, bush was announcing to the world for the first time in July of '99 that he was Satan's chosen ruler - the AntiChrist.
Likewise the first AntiChrist, Napoleon, crowned himself emperor. And again the second AntiChrist aka Hitler never waited to receive a popular mandate before seizing power. Like Hister, Ma-bus aka 'AMerican- BUSh', used thugs to enforce his authority in Dade county. If bush had won the popular vote, and had not stolen the election in Florida, it would have been conclusive evidence that he was not the third AntiChrist.
Secondly, the quatrain refers to the fact that Antichrist will come into the world from the sky - the French can also be translated as 'heaven'. George Bush was born in 'New Haven' Connecticut. (Scripture says Jesus will return from heaven, and the antichrist is the counterfeit of Christ.)
Thirdly, it indicates that after the US gets bogged down and weakened by its war in the Middle East, it will be Communist China's good luck to be able to overrun what's left of the world in the style of Genghis Khan!
Still not convinced?
Exhibit 4: Bush's Secret Alliance With EVIL
You won't read about it in the New York Times, let alone hear about it on the FOX network, but the current occupant of the White House is not only a member of one of the most evil and Satanic cults in America, but his family got rich helping Hitler come to power, exterminate six million Jews, and wage war against the world.
George W Bush was/is a member of the "skull and bones" society. No, this isn't just another harmless Greek fraternity, this is a secretive satanic cult peculiar to the jaded WASP elites at Yale University. Bush wrote in his autobiography that it was, "so secret, I can't say anything more."
Initiates undergo torture, lie nude in a coffin and pledge allegiance to Satan. They do not resign from the cult upon graduation - like Christians they consider themselves to be "born again" forever- only they're reborn in Satan, not the Holy Spirit.
They maintain their cultic relationships their entire lives - mostly helping each other gain positions of power and make more money. Bush had the name "magog" in the cult because he had the most extensive sexual experience of all the initiates. Gog and "Magaog" are names connected with Satan and the Antichrist in Revelation (20:8).
Bush was also involved in torture at Delta Kappa Epsilon, when he was President of the fraternity. One pledge recalled how this "compassionate conservative" took great pleasure in branding him with a red hot iron, leaving him with scars which he carries to this day.
When the hazing scandal broke in the campus newspaper in the late '60s, bush tried to defend the illegal torture as a "harmless prank", but the fraternity was fined and the branding practice halted. Little wonder that bush considered illegal torture a 'harmless prank': When he was a boy he used to sadistically insert firecrackers into frogs and blow them up for kicks.
Then there's the Bush family alliance with the greatest evil in history - Adolph Hitler. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush, also a 'scull and bones' man, got rich first by helping the Nazis come to power, then helping Hitler build the war machine that would decimate the world, and then even benefiting from Nazi slave labor and the extermination of millions of Jews.
Auschwitz was built near coal deposits so that slave labor could be used in one of Prescott Bush's holdings, the Silesian American Corporation. Even after the US declared war on Germany, Prescott Bush continued violating the Trading With the Enemy Act until the government finally shut him down late in 1942 - but not before making him rich.
More Biblical Prophecy
Exhibit 5a: An uncanny reading of current events through the eyes of the Old Testament Prophet Daniel.
Daniel 8:1-17 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me. In my vision I saw in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam ( in Iraq just east of Babylon)...I looked up and there before me was a ram with two horns (Saddam Hussein), and the horns were long (he had the fourth most powerful army in the world).
One of the horns was longer than the others but grew up later (his forces were divided into the regular armed forces and the Republican army, which was formed later and eventually grew into seven divisions). I watched the ram as he charged towards the west, the north and the south. (Saddam was causing a lot of trouble in the region - supporting terrorism and fighting with Israel in the west, then fighting the Kurds in the north and with Iran along their northern border, and finally invading and occupying Kuwait in the south.)
No animal could stand up to him, and none could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great. ( He had become the greatest military power in the region, and was on the verge of acquiring nuclear capability and overrunning Saudi Arabia and the rest of the oil states.)
As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn came from the west (United States military forces under President George HW Bush), crossing the whole earth without touching the ground (our forces were airlifted in from across the globe). He came towards the two-horned ram (Saddam's forces) they had seen standing by the canal (the straights of , a crucial oil-producing region shared by Iraq and Kuwait and crucial in the conflict) and charged at him in great rage.
I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns. (the air war shattered and demoralized the dug-in Iraqi forces.) The ram was powerless to stand against him, the goat knocked him to the ground and trampled on him, and none could rescue the ram from his power. (the ground invasion rolled right over Saddam's forces.) The goat became very great, but at the height of his power his large horn was broken off. (in spite of a skyrocketing job approval rate, George WH Bush lost the presidency a year later and was no longer commander-in-chief.)
And in its place four prominent horns grew up towards the four winds of heaven. (Bush Sr had three sons and a daughter who died of leukemia.) Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. (George W bush started out spending most of his adult life drinking and failing at business ventures.
But then out of nowhere he started growing in power and was elected governor of the southern state of Texas, then he went east to Washington DC to assume the presidency, and now he's heading off to conquer the middle east (the 'beautiful land').) It grew until it reached the host of heaven and it threw some of the starry hosts down to earth and trampled on them. (There will be an air and bombing campaign followed by a ground war.)
It set itself up as great as the Prince of the host; ('Operation Infinite Justice', pretending that his justice and power is equal to that of an infinite God) it took away the place of daily sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was brought low. (war will engulf the middle east in a holy war as supposed religious terrorists are tracked down and any Islamic state which offering them sanctuary is attacked).
The heavenly host was delivered up (countless innocent civilians will be slaughtered), and the little horn (George bush Jr.) raised itself impiously against the regular offering and cast true religion to the ground; (he claims to be a religious man of peace fighting against evil, but just the opposite is the case. He is just a war monger looking for enough oil to satisfy his insatiable greed.) It succeeded in all he did, and truth was thrown to the ground (for a time he will be very successful in his 'war against terrorism', and fool a lot of people).
Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision to be fullfilled? -....." He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated." (the holy war will last about six and a half years, causing an unbelievable amount death and destruction - then the antichrist will be removed by God and peace restored to the Middle East)....While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one one who looked like a man. (the son of God)
And I heard a man's voice calling, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision." As he came near the place I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. "Son of man," he said to me, "understand that the vision concerns the time of the end." (we are entering the last days - the Apocalypse.)
More Biblical Warnings
Exhibit 5b: Important scriptural clues concerning the identity of the AntiChrist from the book of Revelation and other parts of the New Testament::
Rev 9:1 I saw a star fall from heaven unto earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. When Satan was cast down from the heavens, he came down to earth like a fallen and solitary star. Texas is know as the 'lone star state', and the 'bottomless pit', of course, refers to what passes for hell on earth - the hopeless pit of poverty. Texas has one of the nation's highest rates of child poverty - 26.2%; the highest rate of citizens without any health insurance - 24.5%; and a recent Department of Agriculture study says that 5% of Texas households sometimes go without any food at all.
Yet Texas has the most regressive tax structure and spends the least per capita on social services than any state in the union. As governor for the last five years, Mr. Bush has had the key in his hand that could have helped open the door out of poverty for millions of Texans, but instead he prided himself in building a record of cutting taxes for Texas' wealthiest citizens and campaign contributors.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. This refers to Mr. Bush's roll as the bloodiest governor in the nation. Texas has the nations highest rate of incarceration, and executes far more prisoners than any other state, (Texas is also the first state to have more people die from gunshot wounds than automobile accidents, and the murder rate is above the national average - so much for deterrence).
In Texas, an African-American convicted of killing a white is 6 times more likely to receive the death penalty than in the reverse case. When a sincere Christian named Karla Faye Tucker begged for mercy, so that she might continue her ministry in prison, Gov Bush is reported to have mocked and laughed at her anguished pleas. She became the first woman to be executed in Texas since the Civil War. While at the same time he spared the life of the infamous, self-confessed child molester and mass-murdering (200+) Satanist and serial killer Henry Lee Lukas - the only death-row inmate ever to earn clemency from Bush.
II Thes 2:4 who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God By naming his war in the Middle East, "Operation Infinite Justice", he is put himself and our entire country in the place of God. To claim in his state of the union address, that he has the power and authority to eliminate all the 'evildoers' in the world is a megalomaniac ambition, putting himself in the place of Jesus Christ. Only the infinite God is capable of showing infinite mercy and justice or eliminating evil in the world. Whatever justice we can mete out in this life is only a very sad imitation, always prone to great errors in judgment.
To pretend that we can bring "infinite justice" to the world with all our smart bombs and cruise missiles, tanks and bombers is the worst sort of blasphemy imaginable. To pretend that the murder of countless innocent civilians, as will inevitably be the case, is some sort of divine and "infinite justice", or a way of defeating evil, is something only the Antichrist, completely corrupted by its own power, could ever dream up.
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation ...standing where it ought not...flee. The "abomination of desolation" refers to the obscene wave of gun violence now sweeping across our country. Bush has now even signed a law allowing gun owners to bring their guns into a church. In doing so, he's allowing a symbol of violence and death to be brought into a sacred house of worship - where it ought not to be. He's also signed legislation to prohibit Texas cities and counties from suing firearm or ammunition makers or sellers. And he refused to require background checks at gun shows -- despite repeated requests from the police chiefs of the seven largest cities in his state.
He defends all his pro-gun actions by saying that, ""I support the Second Amendment.", even though the overwhelming majority of federal courts have ruled against the NRA's interpretation of the Second Amendment.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke from the pit. Because of Gov Bush's campaign to make air pollution regulations voluntary rather than mandatory, Texas now ranks first in the nation in toxic air emissions from industrial facilities, discharging over 100 million pounds of cancer causing pollutants and other contaminants into the air annually. Bush also helped overturn a viable auto-emissions testing program in favor of one that costs more, tests less accurately and is easier to evade.
Houston has just become home to the dirtiest air in the nation, outranking Los Angeles. And the non-partisan League of Conservation Voters recently called him the "biggest threat to the environment of any leading major party presidential candidate." 2 Tim 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts will they heap unto themselves teachers, having itching ears." IIThes 2:3 "..for that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition."
The writing of the Apostles indicates that many people who call themselves Christians will eventually follow another gospel, and it is these people who will usher in the last days. The Religious Right in America is a corrupt religious heresy where people calling themselves Christians have turned their back on the poor and gone on to savagely persecute the most persecuted (gays).
Rather than honoring God, they've made money and status their god, they profess 'family values' rather than Christian values, and they practice a crude name it/claim it ideology as a way of increasing their sins and mocking God. They use their opposition to abortion as the proof of their righteousness - because it doesn't cost them anything.
That is not to say there is not still a remnant of true Christians in the world - mostly abroad and among the poor. But America's arrogant, affluent rightwing cultists are a hateful abomination, and just as it was prophesied, these heretical hypocrites, first being deceived by their own greed and lust for power, have now helped to bring the final AntiChrist to power. In so doing, they have finally ushered in the Apocalypse, to their own eternal damnation.
